Implementing Google Accounts' OpenID like Stackoverflow

Question

Hi,

Firstly, This question may be asked. But I could not get the information i am looking for. I am creating a website which should take to google.com where the user enters his account information and it redirect back to my website similar to how stack over flow is doing when we click on gmail image.

I am trying to implement a website in .net.

Please list a step by step procedure to implement it or suggest some documentation to follow. I clearly dont want other types of openID implemention where u enter the open id and pick ur open id provider.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 2

I used www.janrain.com and it was simple enough to do.

It also has the advantage of allowing you to use other vendors without any extra - not only gmail.

Oh, and it's free!
