Single Sign-on across Sub-Domains in Drupal with No Extra Modules: “
With the multitude of single sign-on modules out there for Drupal, it’s easy to miss the fact that Drupal has a built-in single sign on mechanism already.

SAML Single Sign-on with Desktop Apps – Enabled by OAuth: ”

One question that repeatedly comes up in any discussion of web single-sign on is ‘How do I get my desktop apps to play?’. Often, Enterprise Single Sign-on (ESSO) is the answer – deploying an agent to the client desktop to automatically populate the username/password popup for Outlook, or whatever desktop app you’re working with. This has always felt a bit clunky to me, particularly since you need a credential store somewhere in the system, but it works well enough for …

Google slashed the costs of hosted storage for its Picasa and Gmail applications, offering 20 gigabytes (GB) of storage for $5 per year, or twice as much for one quarter of the previous price. Will users begin entrusting more e-mail and photos to Google server farms?

OpenSSO Single Sign-on Plugin for WordPress: “

Encouraged by a comment on my post about the OpenSSO module for Drupal, and the amount of OpenSSO/Drupal buzz on Twitter, I decided to attack WordPress next.
