Topic: Single signon

	Single sign-on - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Single sign-on (SSO) is a specialized form of software authentication that enables a user to authenticate once and gain access to the resources of multiple software systems.
		Enterprise single sign-on (E-SSO), also called legacy single sign-on, after primary user authentication, intercepts login prompts presented by secondary applications, and automatically fills in fields such as a login ID or password.
		The term enterprise reduced sign-on is preferred by some authors because they believe single sign-on to be a misnomer: "no one can achieve it without an homogeneous IT infrastructure"[2].

	Single signon: Unix, Windows, enterprise business applications
		This page discusses the call to provide single signon facilities as support for easy yet controlled access to complex enterprise infrastructures, and the necessity for their being an integral part of an enterprise's user management procedures.
		In the real world, password synchronization is an alternative to single signon when used for managing the security of single or multiple enterprise business applications running on the large, multi-user IT service supported by a Unix and Windows infrastructure.
		In addition to the large community of application users, the smaller class of privileged users (commonly system administrators) present their own problems for which single signon software should be the solution.

	single signon - a definition from Whatis.com - see also: SSO, single sign on
		The single signon, which is requested at the initiation of the session, authenticates the user to access all the applications they have been given the rights to on the server, and eliminates future authentication prompts when the user switches applications during that particular session.
		2) In e-commerce, the single signon (sometimes referred to as SSO) is designed to centralize consumer financial information on one server - not only for the consumer's convenience, but also to offer increased security by limiting the number of times the consumer enters credit card numbers or other sensitive information used in billing.
		Microsoft's "Passport" single signon service (averaging over 40 million consumers and more than 400 authentications per second) is an example of a growing trend towards the use of Web-based single signons that allow users to register financial information once, shop at multiple Web sites, and feel more confident about security on the Web.

	WebFOCUS Newsletter September 2003 - Implementing Single Signon in WebFOCUS
		The benefits of single signon to our customers are obvious: Users are relieved of remembering numerous IDs and passwords while systems people can more easily manage and monitor user activity throughout their systems.
		But there is no "single" single signon solution out there to discuss; the solution is a function of each organization’s collection of existing systems, policies and objectives.
		Single signon always involves authentication but it may or may not involve authorization.

	Single login/Kate - Meta
		This provides all the advantages of a single sign-on system, such as shared watchlists, automatic login, or whatever else people want, without requiring anyone to change their username.
		Say you can't create a new account on a wiki if that name is already in the single signon system and you're not using the established password: "sorry, that name is already in use".
		All new accounts are automatically associated with the single signon account, so most people never deal with the transition process - it'll only affect those with name conflicts in the existing system.

		An authentication process in a client/server relationship where the user, or client, can enter one name and password and have access to more than one application or access to a number of resources within an enterprise.

		Single signon is also spelled single sign on or single sign-on and abbreviated as SSO.

	Global Single Signon
		Aside from the initial signon (which requires some form of authentication process), all future signons occur with a single click by the user.
		Once this one-click signon button is pressed, the Merchant realm provider can skip directly to step 9 (redirect the client to the account provider’s authentication page) because the authentication provider and account name for this client is already known (through the merchantRealmID).
		The result of all of this is that the user need only perform a single click to securely identify herself to the service for the second and all future signon attempts.

		Most recent on Sep 3, 2001 12:06 PM Although the Passport single signon protocol enables users to sign on to multiple Web sites by authenticating only once, it's not without its risks.
		Another risk is that the Passport and Wallet data is kept on a single server owned by a company that has been convicted of monopolistic practices in the computer marketplace.
		This way users will have a choice in the marketplace of single sign on services and not be restricted to only one service provider.
