Just finished watching a webcast on Enterprise Single Sign-On integrated with Microsoft BizTalk Server 2004
and Microsoft Host Integration Server 2004 . If you havent already seen that or arent familar with how SSO works and how AD and password synchronization can be used together with SSO, then check this out. Its really well presented with good demos. Since the transcript and PPT are also available if you dont have time to watch it all, then read the transcript. The SSO management story has improved a good deal in BTS 2006 and this should make the solution even more compelling. It should also be interesting to see how far they have progressed in linking this with ADFS and MIIS now.
