+
+ Just unzip into your Elgg mod directory and activate.
+
+ There are several configuration options that you can use to add fancier
+ features. These are available through the "Configure OpenID client" link
+ in the admin sidebar. But they are not needed for basic operation.
+
+ *Single Sign-On Link*
+
+ You can optionally configure a single-sign-on link of the form:
+
+ http://url-for-your-elgg/pg/openid_client/sso?username=XXX
+
+ where XXX is an OpenID.
+
+ This can be useful if you are integrating Elgg into another application.
+ Just put that link into your application navigation, and your user will be
+ automatically logged-in to Elgg using OpenID.
+
+ This feature is turned off by default. You can activate it on the admin page.
+
+ This link may be insecure because it routes around the XSS protection system
+ normally used by the plugin. You have been warned.
+
+ *Reset page*
+
+ When logged-in as a site admin, you can visit:
+
+ http://url-for-your-elgg/pg/openid_client/reset
+
+ to reset all your OpenID associations and nonces. This may help if your
+ association data with a particular OpenID server has become corrupted.
+
+ These are just cached values and will temporarily slow down the next people
+ who login to your site using OpenID, but not by a large amount. Once the
+ cache is refreshed, things should be back to normal. \ No newline at end of file
