Ah, that'd be great. The identity mgmt on the XS is handled by Moodle.
There's an unofficial OpenID _client_ plugin for it, but we need a
_server_ (IDP) plugin. Moodle is PHP and there are PHP libs and I
suspect there may be sample implementations.

I know the moodle API for authentication plugins very well, maybe we
can work together on this.
