What is Single Sign-On (SSO)?
Single Sign-On (SSO) is a Microsoft Office SharePoint Server feature that provides storage and
mapping of credentials such as account names and passwords. It maps user credentials to back-end
data systems. A user can access data from server computers and services that are external to Office
SharePoint Server 2007 by using SSO. From within Office SharePoint Server 2007 Web Parts, a user
can view, create, and change this data. The advantages of using SSO are as follows:
1.User credentials are managed securely.
2.User permission levels that are configured on the external data source are strictly enforced.
3.MOSS 2007 can connect to multiple external data systems regardless of the platform and
authentication scheme.
