Would you believe it, but BMC still censor posts on BMC Communities? Dare I mention any other SSO solution than AtriumSSO, which every man and his dog within BMC knows has been a complete shambles, they'll delete my post! Even if I point someone with a small budget at the 'open source' SSO

Daniel, While I do utilize the community a bit (not much) it's a simple thing for me. This is easier, it is tried and true. Frankly, I find the whole community site a horrid pain. Very confusing and not user friendly. On Tue, Aug 18, 2015 at 2:51 PM, Pierson, Shawn

LJ I don't want this thread to be hijacked - but a point on censorship. If something doesn't work, it doesn't work. Deleting posts has got little to do with machetes and more to do with an admission of failure. If someone is wrong and made some statemnt (X doesn't work), why not correct them?
