SSO For Webapplications

As I have talked about several times, I am planning several saas projects in the future. The amount of ideas vastly surpasses the amount of time available to create these projects, but one of the things I can do until I (and possibly a small team of other people) decide to actually do any concrete work is to collect some methods of doing things that all apps will have to have. One of these are SSO. We would definitely like all our applications to share some kind of login information, and probably other information as well, when the time is right. Applications should in my opinion be as integrated as possible with shared api conventions, shared user-schemes and possibly even shared design and workflow elements. I personally hate it when a company releases several webapplications and I nothing in application A looks/seems/works like anything in application B. It should be – at least in my head – simple to do some kind of shared vision of the app’s.

A long text for post a link. But here goes. I found a post about how to create SSO for webapplications. I have earlier looked at CAS for SSO and that looks like a good implementation. But I guess some experimentation is in order. More on this later…
