More Enterprise Single Sign On

I received feedback from my last post that Enterprise Single Sign On is actually considered by some to be more straight forward than Identity Provisioning and that I was a bit off base by describing it as complex. Frankly I have not worked with ESSO solutions directly for some time. My principle experience is based on my attempts in the mid 1990s to roll out an IBM DCE Kerberos based solution as well as my experience with other enterprise systems management ESSO solutions during my work implementing Identity Management solutions. Wikipedia has a good explaination for various SSO approaches. One approach that does appear to be successful and far less complex than traditional ESSO solutions is from Passlogix. Though I've not worked with it directly, I have heard from mutual customers that are pleased with their technology and architecture.
