 SSO implementations may involve centralization of all user account information in one repository. Depending on

+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.
