Hello!
I'm trying to use OpenID on my Windows Form application. Is there any way to use it? A web service or something simillar?
The application runs on a Windows Mobile 5.0 and above, with C# and Compact Framework 2.0 SP2.
Thank you!

A:
OpenID does not apply to desktop or mobile apps -- only web apps. For authenticating users to web services that a winforms app (mobile or otherwise) needs to access on behalf of the user, read up on OAuth, which is targeted at just this scenario.

I know. And what I'm telling you is no answer is applicable. You won't find OpenID for a Windows Mobile app any more than you'd find OpenID on a desktop app. There's no such thing. Or if there was one (http://code.google.com/p/extremeswankopenid/ claims to have found a way), you've really got to question the security that it actually delivers, since a locally performed OpenID is completely open to subversion and identity spoofing.
