Letter to CIO: OpenID, Please
Our office is going Web 2.0. We are all using a bunch of commercial web services out there, and we’ll be adding users to our internal ones soon.
Logins are a problem, of course. So is identity. We want folks to use their workplace name, email addresses, etc — they are representing the office in using these services. And it would be great if we didn’t have to remember 37 different passwords?
And it wouldn’t it be even better that, once someone leaves, we could turn off all of those identities — so that folks ex-employees can’t misrepresent themselves?
All of this can be done with OpenID.
Here’s how to persuade your CIO to implement it.
