[OpenID] General questions for developing an OpenID portal

[Scott Johnson]

 

Hello,

 

  I’ve been reading up on the docs for both DotnetAuth and OpenID lately.  I have a few questions as I’m not fully understanding the different pieces that would be necessary to code to create my own OpenID provider and portal.  I was hoping someone can tell me specifically what pieces I need to code for what I need to do below.

 

  I do have very specific technical reasons why I need to develop my own OpenID portal in my product line. 

 

My current product manages user IDs. 

 

What I need my program to do is create a page of links(portal), eg. Google Apps, Moodle, etc… on a page that a user can click on which will then pass them through to the site with their currently logged in credentials (SSO).

 

I know I’ll need to code an identity provider.  But will I need to code a relaying party for the local portal to work?

 

Thanks for your insight; it’s much appreciated!
