SSO implementations may involve centralization of all user account information in one repository. Depending on
-... add stuff here JHT!
+environmental complexity and the age of the systems over which a SSO solution is implemented, it may not be
+possible to change the solution architecture so as to accomodate a new identity management and user
+authentication system. Many SSO solutions involving legacy systems consist of a new super-structure that
+handles authentication on behalf of the user. The software that gets layered over the old system may simply
+implement a proxy authentication system. This means that the addition of SSO increases over-all information
+systems complexity. Ideally, the implementation of SSO should reduce complexity and reduce administative
+overheads.

+Briefly describe: 1. New auth system that uses external auth.

+ 3. Meta-directories and distribution if ID info.
+ 4. The significance of Samba in the context of SSO
+ 5. Implications of domain security
