DEPENDENCIES

This software requires:

    * Movable Type 3.2

This distribution also contains the additional required Perl modules:

    * Net::OpenID::Server


INSTALLATION

To install this plugin:

    1. Unzip the archive to your Movable Type directory.

Each author who wishes to use an OpenID must then set up their profile
pages. To set up your OpenID:

    1. In your author profile, set your Website URL to the URL you
       wish to use as your profile.
    2. In the <head> section of that page, add the HTML tag:

       <link rel="openid.server"
             href="<MTCGIPath>plugins/openid-server/server.cgi" />

       If your profile page is a static HTML page, replace "<MTCGIPath>"
       with the CGIPath to the copy of Movable Type where the plugin
       is installed.

To sign in with OpenID:

    1. When presented with an OpenID signon form, enter the URL to your
       profile page. If you are not logged in to Movable Type, you will
       be prompted to log in.

       Try logging into LiveJournal with your OpenID at:

           http://www.livejournal.com/openid/

       (You'll have to log out first if you have a real LJ account.)
