David, It is however a pity that one needs a degree in Computer Science to install Atrium SSO. Also, OpenSSO doesn't provide a full Windows Authentication implementation, which means users won't be able to use the product in the majority of Windows environments (and there's no IIS front end support either).
Further to that, the document states that BMC will not support the Windows SSO component within OpenSSO, nor does support cover the OpenSSO project as a whole so if users experience problems and BMC declare it an "issue with OpenSSO", users have nowhere to go. OpenSSO is not well documented and a huge hassle to configure/install, hence there's a large up front cost in deploying the product. Many companies employ a team of people to manage the product. Therefore, a lot of work is required on Atrium SSO before it meets the needs of clients, is cost effective to install and is well supported by BMC. It is however good to see BMC recognising there's a problem with a lack of SSO for the AR System, which I guess is why our SSO Plugin product is proving so popular with BMC users :-) John Baker -- Java System Solutions http://www.javasystemsolutions.com _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug10 www.wwrug.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"
