Hello. I have a question and I have been doing a lot of reading on the Internet and I am still confused so I thought I would ask everyone. I work for a community college and we are looking at a way to make it easier for teachers, staff, and students to login to different systems. Right now they have different passwords for different systems. They have their AD password to login to the domain. Then they have a username and password to login to our informational system. This is a asp.net app from a third party that users SQL. So I am tasked with looking at solutions to ease the hassle of remembering multiple usernames and passwords. The third party company does not have AD intergration. Should I be looking at things for Single Sign On or Identity Management or are they both the same? We are also looking at implementing Sharepoint to create portals. Does this make it easier or harder? Are there products anyone recommends (cheap or open-source)? We have people that access network resources from on-campus of course but also off campus (OWA) and the student information system can be accessed from on campus or off. I am just confused on the difference between SSO and Idenitity Management and which would work for web apps accessed from off campus.
Thanks
