Sun Microsystems Announces OpenID Program

SAN FRANCISCO, JAVAONE(SM) CONFERENCE, May 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Expanding its commitment to deliver secure web-scale identity management solutions, Sun Microsystems, Inc. (Nasdaq: SUNW) today announced a new initiative around support for OpenID, a decentralized, web-friendly single sign-on mechanism that allows consumers to reuse a single login across different websites, tackling the "login explosion" problem. OpenID is currently limited to facilitating low-risk transactions such as blog comments. Through its new initiative, Sun is exploring what changes and practices are needed to make OpenID applicable to a broader spectrum of business and IT challenges. The company will actively encourage participation from customers and technology partners through a series of activities and real-life implementations that are initially driven by Sun's Chief Technologist's Office.
