Abstract: Implementing SSO is often expensive, and depending on your technical prowess, it may be hard to understand why. This paper explains the basic technical challenge of SSO, the differences between a simple and a complex integration, and how to achieve what your business needs with the least cost and the fewest headaches. We'll focus on issues around developing custom single sign-on solutions for public websites and intranets, which presents different challenges from other scenarios such as SSO for internal business operations. We discuss the intersection of security and analytics with SSO. Finally, we offer useful tips derived from our experience with SSO integration, which you can use as a checklist to guide you through a successful SSO project.
