Assignment 2: Single Sign-On Access
Due Week 7 and worth 80 points
Some business and organizational network infrastructures consist of multiple systems from the
same or different vendors to provide, conduct, process, and execute various business functions.
Some employees must access one or more of these systems using valid access credentials
(username and password). Logging in and out of each system whenever access is desired can
become a problem for most users. Businesses and organizations have resorted to using Single
Sign-On (SSO) for user authentication and authorization.
Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:
1. Analyze at least five (5) problems experienced by employees in an enterprise where Single
Sign-On (SSO) has not been implemented.
2. Some businesses and organizations use Active Directory (AD) to provide SSO access to the
enterprise. Analyze the advantages and disadvantages of using AD for SSO access.
3. Some businesses and organizations use Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LADP) to
provide SSO access to the enterprise. Analyze the advantages and disadvantages of using LADP
for SSO access.
4. Compare and contrast a Kerberos-based SSO configuration to a smart card based
configuration in terms of:
1. configurability
2. established standards
3. implementation challenges
4. cost
