Single sign-on solution for .NET

[Pål]

Hi,

I need a simple single sign-on solution for .NET. The solution needs
to support both windows and web.
So, basically what I need is a solution where I log in once and then
can access other applications and webpages on the intranet. I can't
use Active Directory.

Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Hi,

Well AD is your unique solution, AFAIK, why you cannot use it?
what environment are you on?

Pål,

When you say SSO, do you mean for ANY other application, or do you mean
for a certain set (your application, perhaps, in the windows and the web
version)?

If the answer is the former, then you have a problem, since there isn't
one unifying mechanism which provides for SSO, although there are Google, MS
(Passport) and other alternatives (Open ID).

If the answer is the latter, then you just have to pick a authentication
mechanism and expose it through your apps (web and windows, the windows app
would have to authenticate through the web).

Kerberos?

In http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_sign-on, Kerberos is first on the
"Common Single Sign On Configurations" list.

Hope this helps(tm)
