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:

    The cot we shared is almost a prison
    where I can’t say buttercup, bobolink,
    sugarduck, pumpkin, love ribbon, locket,
    valentine, summergirl, funnygirl and all
    those nonsense things one says in bed.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    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)

    ... the ... thing I am proudest of in my whole business life is that I do not take, that I never took in all my life, and never, never! will take, one single penny more than 6% on any loan or any contract.
    Hetty Green (1834–1916)
