John, 1) SSO itself will not slow down the login process. Blocked traffic in the unauthenticated role that inhibits GPOs/fileshares/etc will slow down your login. As for making it store credentials indefinitely, there have been some people who want that and some who want the remember me option gone totally for security reasons. There are feature requests opens on both I think. Contact your account team and have them pile on to them. 2) Yes, you can make this disappear. Device Management > Clean Access > Agent Login > drop down role (and OS unless you are using the settings under ALL) Setting is: Automatically close login success screen after X secs. Set it to zero to make it not pop up, set it to a couple seconds and it will display a timer in the corner and close automatically.
