Yahoo! U.S. has launched its OpenID service. Here is the announcement.

Hmm. It looks as though this site does not support it yet… It chokes at finish_auth.It worked after I updated the JanRain library.
I will have to take a look over the weekend…
Incidentally, Yahoo! provides a fairly helpful explanation of what OpenID is and related topics, so please have a look if you are interested…
Here are a few screenshots as well.
Yahoo!’s OP uses an OP Identifier.
I had been wondering when an OP Identifier would be used, and it turns out that it is used to issue a different identifier for each RP, in a SAML-like fashion.
