This document discusses OpenID, an open standard for federated digital identity. OpenID allows users to log into third-party websites using their existing identity, rather than needing separate usernames and passwords for each site. The document outlines how OpenID works, including the roles of providers, relying parties, and endpoints. It also describes extensions used by Fedora, such as Simple Registration, Teams, and CLA, which provide additional user information to relying parties. Finally, it notes that Fedora has rewritten its OpenID provider to fully comply with standards and has migrated many of its services, like Trac, to use centralized OpenID authentication.
