I've been using phpMyID as my OpenID provider, but its author has announced that it's now deprecated. It doesn't support OpenID 2.0.

I don't like depending on a third-party OpenID provider. I want to run my own provider on my own server. So, I'm looking for a provider that is open source, secure, and easy to set up for a single user. I'd rather not have to set up a database for it. The language it's written in isn't a major factor, as long as it's easy to set up on Linux+Apache.

I don't see why this is off topic. If it were for a multi-user setup, then Serverfault would be more appropriate, but this is about software to run on my personal computer. – cjm Jul 7 '11 at 4:45

I looked over the providers listed on the Run your own identity server page of the OpenID Wiki. I decided that the easiest one to set up for a single-user situation was SimpleID. It's written in PHP, doesn't need a database, is still under active development, and supports OpenID 2.0. So far, it's been working well.
