OpenID Delegation Plugin

A very simple system plugin for adding OpenID delegation links to your document head elements. This effectively enables you to use any of your site URLs as your OpenID by redirecting the authentication request to the "real" OpenID service. The main advantage other than using your own URLs as OpenIDs is that you can then change your OpenID provider if needed/desired without affecting any of your OpenID-enabled accounts, simply by updating the server and delegate fields in the plugin.

Just to be clear: this has nothing to do with either accepting OpenID logins or authenticating OpenIDs as a server; it's just a more convenient way of delegating authentication requests from your own URLs to another service (see http://openid.net for a list of providers). NB: You can achieve the same by manually adding two link tags (see "project homepage") to the document head in your template if you prefer.
