[OpenID] Open Id and Cookie

[Eddy Nigg (StartCom Ltd.)]

However OpenID does actually provide that functionality depending on the 
provider settings. I expect that most providers store the session state 
of previous logins - the session time out depends on the provider. The 
provider can use cookies as well to save the login state (like "remember 
me" functionality). Now every time one needs to login to some site with 
the identity, the site asks the provider and received a successful 
authentication. I guess this is pretty much what you want actually.

I guess there are many (most) providers implementing that, but you can 
check out the one of StartSSL at https://www.startssl.com/?app=14 which 
does the mentioned above.
