Difference between Federated single sign on and just Single sign on

[Former Member]

Can anyone please give a clear definition of what is

1. Federated Single sign on?

2. Just Single Sign on ?

As a security expert if you were to Architect security what will you suggest ?

Lets take an example Landscape

NW1(ABAP + JAVA)- system, NW-2(ABAP+JAVA) system and EP( java only), LDAP

I am having a hard time convincing the customer to have both CONSUMER AND PRODUCER PORTAL for Federated single sign on? is this a bad idea. Customer says just give me SSO(with just one portal acting as CONSUMER/PRODUCER).

initial GOLIVE user load will be 700+ users.

Little bit confusing, If the customer has one portal only, why would they talk about FPN?

I think "normal" SSO using SAP logon ticket should be enough.

Hi Denny Liao

The project is going to have BI(NW) and ECC/SRM/HR(NW) and sepparate portal ( EP - Java only )

I thought that normal SSO will help in the intranetwork, what happens if the employee(user) needs to work from home.

What about the external vendors suppliers etc...?
