I’m developing a website (in Django) that uses OpenID to authenticate users. As I’m currently only running on my local machine I can’t authenticate using one of the OpenID providers on the web. So I figure I need to run a local OpenID server that simply lets me type in a username and then passes that back to my main app.
Does such an OpenID dev server exist? Is this the best way to go about it?
The libraries at OpenID Enabled ship with examples that are sufficient to run a local test provider. Look in the examples/djopenid/ directory of the python-openid source distribution. Running that will give you an instance of this test provider.
