Hello, Given the general discussion of this thread is moving towards our SSO implementation, I thought I'd just cover a few points.
It's only a few months old, and we've done two releases. After feedback from people trialling the system, we're building a much better ARS configuration system for our next release - although right now it's not overly hard to install if the instructions are followed correctly. The plugin is generic and works in a variety of SSO environments, including with Windows Domain Controllers (Jamie found a bug in some of the libraries we use, and we'l work with him to resolve this when he has time). We're going through the interesting learning process of discovering interesting problems and coming up with imaginative solutions, because every SSO system is different (well technically, they are not supposed to be, but in practice there are always things that change the behaviour of an SSO system). A good example of this would be whether a client is authenticating against a cluster of DCs (a discussion I shall soon have with Jamie). While we currently use a model of "SSO or AD/LDAP", we are developing a much more interesting solution involving a whole variety of authentication interfaces (including those RSA key fobs). Our solution will evolve to meet users' requirements, so my message is simple: Tell us about your SSO system, and we'll tell you if we can help. If we can't help immediately, we'll tell you how long it'll take before we can.
