Sorry about that. Had the pleasure of working with Max and Chicco in a previous life. They had to put up with 3 months of 'why don't you write an article about that' and instead of ignoring me (as most people do when I say that) they actually spent the time to put the article together.

Chico and Max did a great job. I'm also interested in using OpenID for authentication in SaaS offerings. LDAP could still be involved in some way, I suppose, say for grouping or roles or something similar. Nice! Chico and Max did a great job.

Both provide tree like structures for the retrieval of (user) information. Windows Directory (what you are usually checked against when you login to your PC in a corporate environment) implements the LDAP standard, so can be a provider of this information should you choose. The article uses Apache Directory, so feel free to comment on which you think is best, and why! Paul @Honk
