I'm looking to implement OpenID the same way that StackOverFlow uses it. I've looked through a few APIs and I've scouted out JanRain but I'm not sure these do what I'm looking for. Has anyone duplicated the login functionality available here?

A: 

Yes, with http://simpleid.sourceforge.net

That download contains about 80 files, is it really that complicated?

http://openid.net/add-openid/

Thats the link to adding the OpenID StackOverFlow uses. They have plug ins for:

  • Drupal
  • Wordpress (OpenID)
  • Wordpress (Janrain Engage)
  • SPIP
  • WebGUI
  • MediaWiki
  • DokuWiki
  • phpBB
  • PunBB

Janrain Engage, what you talked about in your question, is a hosted solution that adds OpenID to websites with very light engineering requirements.

That link is where I was, it provides a few PHP API (I need custom integration) but I was wondering if anyone had used those APIs.
