[OpenID] Offline OpenID Provider for RP development

[Andrew Arnott]

No matter what your web platform or programming language of choice, if
you're developing a relying party site, you may find yourself in the awkward
position of not being able to expose your RP to public OPs in order to test
your site -- or maybe you're just working offline.

Introducing the FOSS OpenID Offline
Provider<https://www.ohloh.net/p/dotnetopenauth/download?package=DotNetOpenAuth-Tools>for
Windows.  (this sounds like marketing).  It is still pretty new and
new
features will be added with time, but right now it's a small program that
you can just launch in order to get a local OP going so your local RP can
log in with it without being online and without giving away anything about
your RP while you're in development.

Keep in mind that yes, it's based on DotNetOpenAuth, but since it's just the
OpenID protocol, any RP should be able to work with it.

It might even work on Linux if Mono can handle it as it's based on .NET 3.5.

Of course feedback is welcome. :)
