Open Authentication - provider

I hope someone can at least point me in the right direction here.

I have a need for Open Authentication in my business.

However it is not to use other services like facebook or google etc.

We have a membership database - a standard asp.net membership database (slightly modified with an additional table for profile information).

We also have multiple applications that our customers can use but require a log in, so we would like to use the membership database as an authentication source for these applications using open auth.

But i'm not sure where to start with it... everything i look at seems to point to using facebook or google etc as the source of authentication.

Where do I start with being the provider for open auth?

Any recommendations? Any advice for a newbie to open auth?

Our website is webforms, not mvc and runs on .net 4.0.

Thank you in advance!

You should start looking at the code from DotNetopenAuth, particularly the Samples. This is should give you enough to get started with OAuth and/or Open ID.

Particurlarly, look at this sample, as this uses OAuth2 to protect a web api, which can be used a starting point to something that can be used by clients in a very similar way to facebook or google logins.

Try to look at Thinktecture IdentityServer v2. It is an IAM that handles authentication. It is customizable. With little coding you can wire your membership database with it. See this page and IdentityServer wiki for more info.
