how to make discovery for openid provider like for orange.fr?
+2
A:
OpenID uses YADIS for discovery. You can read how to perform it [here].
However, that method can fail, and in such case OpenID uses HTML discovery, described in the OpenID specification.
That answers your question, but if you want to just use OpenID, you probably should find some library.

I can't help you, because `orange.fr` simply does not have any information about openid. And the fact that `openid.net` states otherwise should not bother you, because it's your users' problem, not yours. If someone uses orange.fr provider, they have to know their url. Unless you make a button "login with orange", in which case you just have to enter another url instead of `orange.fr`, which doesn't seem to be a problem.
