No, No, No! The support I have received from Java System Solutions has been 
nothing short of fantastic. Admittedly we're not using SSO, but XML Gateway is 
provided by the same company. Problems are solved quickly and efficiently. New 
solutions have been coded in a spectacularly short space of time...

If this had been a BMC product, the installation guide would have been 
incomprehensible, you would have to wait 2 weeks for somebody to tell you to 
patch the product, and then they still wouldn't understand what you were trying 
to say. They would ask for the log files you included in your original 
submission and then email you after 4 weeks to see if the problem had magically 
fixed itself!

Maybe BMC should consider acquiring Java Solution Systems  :^)

David,

It is however a pity that one needs a degree in Computer Science to
install Atrium SSO.  Also, OpenSSO doesn't provide a full Windows
Authentication implementation, which means users won't be able to use the
product in the majority of Windows environments (and there's no IIS front
end support either).

Further to that, the document states that BMC will not support the Windows
SSO component within OpenSSO, nor does support cover the OpenSSO project
as a whole so if users experience problems and BMC declare it an "issue
with OpenSSO", users have nowhere to go.

OpenSSO is not well documented and a huge hassle to configure/install,
hence there's a large up front cost in deploying the product.  Many
companies employ a team of people to manage the product.

Therefore, a lot of work is required on Atrium SSO before it meets the
needs of clients, is cost effective to install and is well supported by
BMC.

It is however good to see BMC recognising there's a problem with a lack of
SSO for the AR System, which I guess is why our SSO Plugin product is
proving so popular with BMC users :-)
