Well, although that was true in my case, it's also likely that no one knows.

My guess is that NSURLCredential would not be useful to you, because OpenID, as 
you said, does not use cookies.  At the low level, you're just going to be 
dealing with usernames, passwords, tokens, etc.  But regardless of the fancy 
names, they're all NSStrings or, rarely, NSData as far as you're concerned.

That's why they publish documentation...

http://openid.net/developers/

When you need to write Cocoa code to implement a standard such as OpenID, the 
first step is to search the internet for, in this case, "OpenID Cocoa" to see 
if there is any open-source code which might help.  If you don't find anything 
(or sometimes even if you do), or if OpenID is anything like OAuth, from 
experience I would advise that you've got a long difficult slog ahead of you.  
But it can be done.  You'll just repeatedly use NSURLConnection to send and 
receive requests as indicated in the OpenID documentation.
