Web SSO or federated
Thursday, January 31st, 2013Gartner is predicting that federation that will displace web single signon in the coming 3-4 years.
Halleluja! Web SSO is purely a hack – either installing shims on web application servers or proxying authentication to web apps and intercepting/storing/injecting passwords from some (hopefully secure) database.
With luck, more apps will support federation and WebSSO will fade away.
