Single Sign On / Authentication System?

Hi all,

I'm looking to implement a single sign on solution for .NET applications.
This single sign on solution will need to work against a variety of back-
end databases (i.e. SQL (mainly), Active Directory (some), Custom Data
Sources (XML, MDB, Custom Web Service, etc).

Is there any sample code on implementing a simple single sign on service?

The app would need:

-Log in Users from the web, desktop clients, custom applications, etc.
-Have granular permissions
-Be compatible with other web services, desktop apps, and remoting
(basically any sort of client/server)
-Have the ability to add trusted sites (i.e. servers, viewer consoles,
etc)
-Work with .NET 1.1 (most of our apps are still 1.1)

I was thinking of doing the following:

1. Build a security web service
2. Users would log into a web service to retrieve a token
3. Once a token is retrieve, it is used for all future communications
4. Applications check security against the security service via the Token
i.e.: CheckPermission (ByVal Token as GUID, ByVal Permission as String) as
Boolean
5. The Web Service would manage a list of valid tokens (time outs,
errors, etc)

Ecryption would be done primarily on the transport layer - but the token
could be encrypted too.

What do you guys think about this solution? It's simple... However, how
do you handled "trusted" sources?

Even better would be for me to find something that was prebuilt :-)

I'm searching for info on how to authenticate a user in the same way that for example Source Safe does. I would like my system to use Windows as the authenticator, so that the user doesn't have to log on separately to access my system.

Quite a few months back, I was able to create a single sign on app for all apps on a single box (perhaps a domain, but never tested) by setting the auth cookie name to an identical value: <authentication mode="Forms"> <forms name="SingleSignOn" loginUrl="login.aspx"> </authentication> I could then surf from app to app on the same box and the cookie, named the same, would allow me to bypass the logon form.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
