Me thinks the solutions is to deprecate the User Tool.  If accessing DV
plugins from a midtier session, the current session information is used to
load the DV plugin and populate the DVF.  How does one initiate an SSO
session from a native tool if an SSO session is not established in the
context of a web browser?  Kerberos is the only remotely widely deployed
cross-platform technology I can think of.
