Re: Deploying service providers together with old web sites

Well, from what you said in your mail, I can see that you have more
then one web sites that require the user to authenticate before then
actually enter the web site.

Now, are these web site with the same  provider ( in the same domain
i.e.). If they are part of the same portal / web applicaiton then you
need not have multiple SP's. The whole concept of SSO is to reduce the
 # of logins that a user had to do by providing a central point of
authentication.

So long story short: If all these WS(1,2,3....X) are part of same app
domain then u dont have to have SP(1,2,3...X) for each authenticating
web site. You can have only 1 SP and can direct ur authenticating web
sites to get the information from this SP.

Note: SP is a applicaiton and not just a web site.
