A great technical workshop article on Single Sign-On was written in the latest Network Computing. It explains in more detail how true single sign-on has been developed and actually rolled out. It is great to see the technologies developed by Clemson University (i.e. AuthServ) are now being marketed / sold to the public. There is a myth that SSO is not a reality. This article goes in detail to dispell that myth. I hope more of these media releases of how SSO can really work starts to happen. It is one thing to say that SSO exists in a company's technologies, but it really hits home when it is explained how it can really happen!!! As an Network Architect I put a lot more credibility in believing a claim when I can see/hear how it was actually accomplished in real-life. Only then can I get excited. I have heard the Clemson example long time ago and have used it several times in examples of of SSO to my customers. It is unfortunate how Novell let a BEAUTY of an example of SSO get buried. Nice to see that it has surfaced again! PS - my hat goes off to the pioneers at Clemson for the incredible BLEEDING EDGE efforts they made to accomplish true SSO! Again, as a technologist I can appreciate both the incredible political and technical effort that they must have gone through to accomplish what they have! I know it is late is saying, GREAT JOB! nwc.com Adopting Single Sign-On for NDS November 1, 1999 By Sean Doherty If you're in a single-platform environment, be it Solaris, Windows, NetWare or what have you, read no further. You already have a single sign-on solution and the rest of us hold you in contempt for having homogeneous users. If you're in a multiplatform environment, the following exploration of single sign-on solutions leveraging NDS is for you. Toy
