SSO implementations may involve centralization of all user account information in one repository. Depending on

environmental complexity and the age of the systems over which a SSO solution is implemented, it may not be
possible to change the solution architecture so as to accomodate a new identity management and user
authentication system. Many SSO solutions involving legacy systems consist of a new super-structure that
handles authentication on behalf of the user. The software that gets layered over the old system may simply
implement a proxy authentication system. This means that the addition of SSO increases over-all information
systems complexity. Ideally, the implementation of SSO should reduce complexity and reduce administative
overheads.

Briefly describe: 1. New auth system that uses external auth.
2. SSO system that stores info about all IT systems, and provides front-end
app. that hides the IT systems beneath a veneer of its own.
3. Meta-directories and distribution if ID info.
4. The significance of Samba in the context of SSO
5. Implications of domain security
a) with NT4 domain
b) with ADS
