Shared Authentication Schemes Which Are Not Single Sign-on

Single sign-on requires that users literally sign in once to establish their credentials. Systems which require the user to log in multiple times to the same identity are inherently not single sign-on. For example, an environment where users are prompted to log in to their desktop, then log in to their email using the same credentials, is not single sign-on.

Famous quotes containing the words shared, schemes and/or single:

    “Let us pardon him his hope of a vain apocalypse, and of a second coming in great triumph upon the clouds of heaven. Perhaps these were the errors of others rather than his own; and if it be true that he himself shared the general illusion, what matters it, since his dream rendered him strong against death, and sustained him in a struggle to which he might otherwise have been unequal?”
    —Ernest Renan (1823–1892)

    “Science is a dynamic undertaking directed to lowering the degree of the empiricism involved in solving problems; or, if you prefer, science is a process of fabricating a web of interconnected concepts and conceptual schemes arising from experiments and observations and fruitful of further experiments and observations.”
    —James Conant (1893–1978)

    “There is not a single crowned head in Europe whose talents or merit would entitle him to be elected a vestryman by the people of any parish in America.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
