Analysis of Single Sign on for Multiple Web Applications

Anita Patil, Prof. Rakesh Pandit, Prof. Sachin Patel

In general, a coherent authentication strategy or a solid authentication framework is missing in recent authentication system. Over time this leads to a proliferation of applications, each of which comes with their own authentication needs and user repositories. At one time or another, everyone needs to remember multiple usernames and passwords to access different applications on a network. This poses a huge cost for the administration and support department accounts must be set up in each application for each employee, users forget their passwords, and so on. Single sign-on (SSO) is a session/user authentication process that permits a user to enter one name and password in order to access multiple applications. Through this paper we will discuss the basic sign on model and disadvantage of multi sign on system. Later on, the single sign on model will be presented, especially with the focus on the different SSO architectures; We will compare the SSO solution to the ACL with proxy signature.
