I've been looking to setup an OpenID server for a special project, but haven't found any workable OpenID server software packages. Originally was looking for a *nix solution, and found several, but they all had some kind of issue.

So far I've tried JOIDS, community-id, and a couple others I unfortunately can't remember the names of.

I've also come to the conclusion that even if I had managed to get one of those going that the management/upgrade cycles would have placed undue burden on the company (only a couple part time sysadmins with *nix knowledge, the day to day people are primarily Windows). So, I'm hoping that there's a Windows one out that will be functional that someone knows about and will be easy for a minimal support environment...

  • DO you want this OpenID server to authenticate users against Active Directory? – rmalayter Apr 13 '12 at 21:43
  • Product recommendations and shopping questions are off-topic, per the [faq] – MDMarra Apr 13 '12 at 21:48
  • @MDMarra isn't he just looking for a tool? We don't suggest those? – uSlackr Apr 13 '12 at 22:19
  • @uSlackr No, that's a product recommendation. It's explicitly off-topic. – MDMarra Apr 13 '12 at 22:21

    How is it different than this question? (trying to understand the subtlety ) http://serverfault.com/questions/376846/api-management-solutions – uSlackr Apr 13 '12 at 22:23
  • I'd vote to close that too, but I can't since it has a bounty on it. If you have a question like this, you should post on [meta] where the whole community can take a peek. – MDMarra Apr 14 '12 at 11:24
  • I was afraid it might be found to be off-topic, but I don't have any other ideas on how to find one that works. So far everything I've run across is unusable/broken in some fundamental way. :-( Oh well, with the security issues with OpenID perhaps it's a bad idea to use it anyways. – Brian Knoblauch Apr 16 '12 at 15:08

openid usually runs at the web application level so is os-independent. since most web apps such as php, python, ruby all run on windows, you should be run one, though i have not done so.
