I wish I was more of an expert on it to answer your questions more fully. I'll tell you what I know.
At my work we have been developing a system that currently has it's own user base, but we planned on integrating it into BYU's user base in the future. We were going to user LDAP for this, but we were later informed about this single signon thing. It sounded to me like it was very recent (maybe it's not even quite ready). I know that using single sign on is the best way to do things so you can manage passwords and access from a single point so I thought it would be applicable to mention here. However, what I have told you is all I know about it. Sorry. If you want to know more, I would call OIT and see if they are in a good enough mood to help you. :) Dustin On Thu, 2007-04-26 at 23:18 -0600, Devlin Daley wrote: > On Apr 26, 2007, at 11:12 PM, Dustin McQuay wrote: > > > The university has single sign on.
