Google's status as an OpenID Relying Party

(new) For a summary, see Google's presentation given at the OpenID Retail Summit [March 2011]

Sample Sites

• • Blog post on Google's OpenID Sample Store - in particular we suggest watching the videos in the FAQ [Nov 2010]

  • Prototype of Google as an RP: federatedux.appspot.com [Summer 2010]

Google Account's use of OpenID & SAML as an RP in production

• • For email address validation - See blog post - Nov 2010

Popular OpenID RP Services

Janrain, Ping, Azure ACS, Gigya

OpenID toolkits from Google

• • Raw OpenID RP feature in Google App Engine (see article) [July 2010]

  • (new) Google identity toolkit [March 2011]

    • The Google Accounts RP features described above are built on top of the same "raw" infrastructure as App Engine, but using a higher level toolkit

    • easyrpsample.appspot.com is a sample App Engine application using the same tools as Google Accounts

    • We will make those tools available (including the login box widget) as a service to any website who wants to copy Google's RP

    • Other vendor offerings will probably continue to be more sophisticated
