+      <para>DHIS 2 supports the OpenID standard, which can be described as "OpenID is an open standard that allows users to be authenticated
+        by certain co-operating sites (known as Relying Parties or RP) using a third party service, eliminating the need for webmasters to
+        provide their own ad hoc systems and allowing users to consolidate their digital identities." (from WikiPedia).</para>
+      <para>To enable support for this in DHIS 2, two steps must be done:<itemizedlist>

+            <para><emphasis role="bold">Set your OpenID provider</emphasis>: This can be done inside system settings, under "Approval". Here
+              you can set both the OpenID provider, and also the label to display on the login page to login with this provider (defaults to
+              Login with OpenID).</para>

+              field, there is noe a field called <emphasis role="italic">OpenID</emphasis> which can be used to fill in the OpenID
