http://www.intellectualhedonism.com/2008/02/13/RunAsRadio44ScottKvetonSharesHisOpenID.aspx Richard and Greg talk to Scott Kveton about OpenID. OpenID is a single sign-on solution that could very well make the classic username and password obsolete. This is a fast half hour - you’ll find yourself wanting to listen again!

Coincidently so soon after writing my last post, something I’ve been listening to whilst coding today, really interesting half hour show on openId and unification of functionality.

I’ve spent a little time in the past evening writing a .NET/ASP OpenId provider based on some open source code build on top of the JanRain librarys. Their sample was simple and forms authentication based, and I’ve been expanding it to work in a multiuser environment using flat files to store XML user identities behind the scenes. When it’s done I’ll submit the changes back to the source / open it, but it’s more of a fork of the orignial project (which itself appears to be based on just about everything ever).
