OpenID Providers
Each OpenID provider has an OpenID URI associated with its authentication system to enable the discovery method required for the OpenID process.
When making an initial request to a provider in order to have a user authenticate her account, you will submit the URI of the provider. For instance, the following list details some of the more popular OpenID providers and their OpenID URIs:
Yahoo: https://me.yahoo.com
Flickr: http://www.flickr.com
WordPress: https://username.wordpress.com/
MyOpenID: https://www.myopenid.com/
MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/username
LiveJournal: http://username.livejournal.com/
ClaimID: https://claimid.com/username
Blogger: http://blogname.blogspot.com
Hyves: http://hyves.net

We’ll explore how to use these in the OpenID authentication process later in this chapter.
