2007/2/2, Dustin Puryear <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
SSO products do something similar in that they just tie everything together where true SSO isn't possible (say, via Kerberos, and let's be honest: the only platform that has successfully deployed Kerberos as a major component of authentication for the entire application stack in a large number of networks is Windows AD). Really, most SSO solutions are just very comprehensive password management tools.
SSO products also have the benefit to do something even when the application is already developped, without modifying it. The problem with "true SSO" (like Kerberos) is that you have to use it when you write your application. Also, they can be used to collect passwords directly from the user and avoid the provisionning part of the picture.
