Re: Deploying service providers together with old web sites

Antonio and Prasad,

Even if the two web applications are on the same domain, enabling them
to perform single sign-on via a standard protocol (like Liberty ID-FF)
is forward-thinking in a good way, as it may be the case that one day
the two web apps are deployed separately (e.g. not on the same domain).
