I understand that in theory, but it doesn’t seem efficient to require us to stand up a new server just to provide authentication between ARS systems and BMC provided bolt ons. It was working fine in previous versions of RKM, Business Objects XI has a real built in SSO solution, and if Remedy is set up to use LDAP authentication, I don’t see an advantage to this for my specific requirements since it doesn’t really seem to do SSO. However, I don’t feel comfortable enough in my understanding to know what would be impacted to really make that decision yet.

One of these things is the Atrium SSO, which I am having trouble figuring out the purpose of. BMC’s documentation shows it sitting on a separate server, but I don’t see the point in buying new hardware just for authentication since realistically everything gets tied in to Active Directory anyway. So here are my questions: 1. How is Atrium SSO used, specifically, what do I gain by using it? 2. The documentation references needing Tomcat, so would I be better off installing it on my Mid Tier server, my AR System server, or do I truly have to set up a new server just for this application? Your responses will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Shawn Pierson Remedy Developer | Southern Union Private and confidential as detailed here<http://www.sug.com/disclaimers/default.htm#Mail>.
