OpenID is a
technology which enables you to sign in at different websites using the same
identity. Rather than having to remember usernames/passwords for all the
different sites you register with, you can use a single identity URL called an
OpenID which is recognised by them all. The OpenID identifies you and
your home site where you have an account and can login. At a site like this one,
you can type in your OpenID, in the text box provided. When you select "Go",
your browser will redirect you to your home site (your OpenID Provider) so that
you can login. Once you've logged in, your home site will redirect you back to
this site. This site will recognise you as signed in so that you access secured resources.
The default setting in the text box is the OpenID corresponding to this site. If
you have an account registered here you can simply select "Go" and you will be
redirected to the login page. You can also log in using an OpenID from another site but
please note that this site may restrict sign in to a list of trusted
OpenID Providers. If you have trouble using an OpenID with this site please contact the
site administrator. If you don't know what you OpenID is please get in touch with your
home site and find out if they can provide you with an OpenID.
