[OpenID] suggested server for private SSO using openid?

[Lukas Rosenstock]

Is this server interesting for you?
http://www.barnraiser.org/index.php?wp=AMi

It's maybe a bit heavyweight as it provides also personal identity pages and
stuff on top of OpenID, but anyway it's a standalone OpenID server that is
written in PHP, runs on MySQL and is quite easy to install (done this before
for a test installation).
Oh yes, and it uses subdomain format for identities.

Thanks.  We have two existing custom systems that will need to be 
integrated eventually, hopefully sometime over the next year.  We have 
some institutional knowledge of Zikula/postnuke because of a different 
project that will not EVER integrated for non-technical reasons, so we 
are going with that.   Our first OpenID project based on this is already 
installed and working with myopenid.com as a proof of concept, but we 
need a private provider.

I'm a little wary of hacks because I want something supported by an 
active community so that it will be upgraded and maintained, and I don't 
want to have to constantly re-hack.

Mysql is highly desired because we're going that way on everything else. 
  But I'm open minded.

Thanks for your input and interest.
