OpenID is a decentralized and free single sign on system.

Steps to obtain an OpenID

Step 1 - sign up with an OpenID provider

In order to obtain an OpenID for yourself you should first claim one from sites like e.g. http://www.myopenid.com.

Step 2 - log into a website that supports OpenID

E.g you can use use the obtained OpenID to log into the DAS registration server.



Alternative: make a URL you control your OpenID

To keep control which OpenID provider you are using turn your web page into an OpenID. This is possible by adding 


<link rel="openid.server" 
      href="http://www.myopenid.com/server">

<link rel="openid.delegate"
      href="http://user.name.myopenid.com">

into the header of the html page.

If you use servers other than myopenid.com Replace the openid.delegate href with your OpenID , and the openid.server href with the server of you OpenID provider. You can find this server by viewing the source of your HTML page on your provider's site.
