Is it possible to limit the users who can sign in with open id on my site. I have clients that I want to give access to a client area on my website. I don’t want anyone with a open id to be able to login just my clients. Is this possible?

One way to do this would be to create a “sign up” form to validate the user. Part of the sign up process would be to associate your OpenID. You can then leave the newly created account in a “pending” mode to be approved by an admin. (note: if you have a different way of adding the clients, you would use that method.)
Basically you would create a profile for a user the same way you would in any other application, except you would replace the UserName / Password portion with OpenID.
