UH, no, this is single signon. Single signon means that I get all the
credentials to access services at the site from one signon. This
includes things like getting to IMAP mail, filesystems and local
applications. It also includes getting to services like shells
exported by some machines. IT happens that these shell services
often need proxy authentication to be useful.
