We have added support for OpenID on Connotea.
If you don’t know what OpenID is then head over to the OpenID page to get an introduction. The short version is that it is a system for managing access to sites through a trusted ID provider.
Why are we doing this? We are hoping that the introduction of OpenID on Connotea will help you guy’s with managing your online personas, and in addition we are talking with some other groups about using it as a way of creating bridges between Connotea and some other services.
If you know what OpenID is already then just have a go and log in at http://www.connotea.org/openid. At the moment we are a relying party. This means that we don’t host or generate OpenID’s but if you have one you can use it to log in to Connotea.
Each Connotea account can have one OpenID associated with it. You can set this in the Advanced settings section of your account, now available in the Toolbox on the right hand side of the page.
If you don’t already have an account, one will be generated automatically for you when you log in with an OpenID.
