I have now put together some basic code which successfully interacts with OpenID servers.

Unlike other solutions it doesn't requires any other libraries or special languages/features on the server other than CURL support (with SSL) which is fairly common.

Unfortunately during this time OpenID has upgraded to 2.0 and certain providers like Yahoo will only accept 2.0 queries and not 1.1 which is all the code can handle.

But if there is any serious interest, I could get bbPress to accept openid from wordpress.com/livejournal/aol/etc. which continue to allow 1.1

This is a demo of the bbPress Signatures plugin!
If you use my plugins, please considering donating to help continue their development.

I am running version 1.0 alpha 5.
If I register through an OpenID website, normally an account would be automatically created on a website.

Is that possible with this plugin too or is it only possible to add an OpenID to an existing account?
I installed the plugin and it doesn't work like I write in the second sentence.

If it is not the case that users get automatically an account, what benefits offers this plugin?

I am looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks in forward.
