Want to Run Your Own openID Service for Yourself?

Since about 2 minutes, I use phpmyID.
Basically it goes like this:
1. download the files
2. upload the files to your webspace
3. visit the MyID.config.php and remember what it says in the "Realm"; line (e.g. Realm: phpMyID)
4. create your secure md5 hash thingy by executing the following commandline somewhere

$ echo -n ‘username:realm:password' | openssl md5

5. edit that part of the MyID.config.php to match your Data:

$GLOBALS['profile'] = array(
    # Basic Config
    'auth_username' =>  'test',
    'auth_password' =>  '37fa04faebe5249023ed1f6cc867329b',
    'auth_realm'    =>  'phpMyID',

6. edit that part too:

$GLOBALS['sreg'] = array (
#   'nickname'      => 'Joe',
#   'email'         => '[email protected]',
#   'fullname'      => 'Joe Example',
#   'dob'           => '1970-10-31',
#   'gender'        => 'M',
#   'postcode'      => '22000',
#   'country'       => 'US',
#   'language'      => 'en',
#   'timezone'      => 'America/New_York'
);

7. boom, you're done… no making stuff writeable, no database yadda yadday, nothing :)
8. change those two lines to match your setup and insert that stuff in the < head > part of the index page of your webspace:

    < link rel="openid.server" href="http://domain.tld/path/MyID.config.php">
    < link rel="openid.delegate" href="http://domain.tld/path/MyID.config.php">
