Sun Microsystems will support OpenID. 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. 

In order to explore the boundaries of OpenID as a trust system, Sun is offering an OpenID Provider service to its 34,000 employees. People using Sun-based OpenID identifiers at an OpenID-accepting website can convey in this simple and secure manner that they are indeed Sun employees, a piece of information that can enable access to employee discounts and unlock other special services all across the web. Sun will work with partners to extend special services on this basis.

As Sun has recognised, a verified OpenID service like NetIDme, is a valuable tool that enterprises can employ to improve trust & security, without limiting usability.

It allows you to create a login at a site you frequent, and use that same login on any other site that supports OpenID.  Drupal 5.x and below have supported this with the built-in Drupal module, but OpenID is an open standard, better supported, and more secure. more
