Update:
Using the sample code (sent to me by Patrick Zandi) from the second pdf below I am able to compile the arssoinfo.dll and auto-login to the Windows User Tool. But so far this only works when you specify a TCP Port > 0. I guess this does not work with Port Mapper??? I tested with WUT 7.0.0 p1 and 7.0.1 p1 connecting to ARS 7.0.1 and 7.0.1 p1. Even if it will [eventually] work with Port Mapper I am not sure how useful this will be. The username, password, and server name need to be embedded within the arssoinfo.dll. And the password is stored in clear text! You can see the password with a hex editor (here is a free one http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/delphi/freeware/xvi32/xvi32.htm). I realize there are ways to obfuscate the password, such as by storing it encrypted and then decrypting it at the point it is requested. Since the username/password is embedded each user will need to have a custom compiled version of arssoinfo.dll on their computer. Has anyone found a good use for arssoinfo.dll?

Has anyone got this to work? Do you need to have a third-party SSO solution already in place or does ARS now provide everything needed to auto-login (not counting the caching of passwords on the local computer)? Page 19 of the second pdf lists sample code written in C. I program in other languages. Basically the only thing I know about C is that it comes after B :) If ARS does have everything that is needed I will probably learn C. SSO in the Windows User Tool seems to be the Holy Grail these days.
