[OpenID] suggested server for private SSO using openid?

Thanks.  I've already looked at openidenabled, and that (and openid.net) 
is what brought me here.

* A library is not what I'm after.  I'm looking for a installable 
solution I don't have to spend time developing a system around.  I am 
presuming (perhaps incorrectly) that the libraries are essentially an 
API that I'd have to build a custom solution around.  No time for that.

* not interested in stuff on the unsupported page for obvious reasons.

 From openid.net:
*  phpMyID - a standalone, single user identity provider.
(As it says, single user)

* PHP OpenID Server.
( leads to http://www.openidenabled.com/unsupported-software/)

* Clamshell - standalone, multi-user OpenID server.
(looks like a nice system but doesn't list jblow.example.com as an ID 
format.  Still it has several options which suggests it's flexible.  But 
  data isn't stored in a database)
* NetMesh InfoGrid LID PHP - supports OpenID as well as the LID protocol 
suite.
(appears to the "library" approach as well)
* SimpleID - A standalone provider, supporting multiple identities. 
Active development (May 2008).
(claims to be a "personal OpenID provider" which seems to me to mean 
it's not for multiple persons, and not stored in database).

More information on any of these or others is welcome.

Thanks.
