1. TA Review – Authentication and Single Sign-On Utah Department of Technology Services March 2008
2. Introduction The Utah Master Directory (UMD) and related SiteMinder architecture was designed in 2001. There is a need to validate current practices against best practice industry solutions with an objective of wider adoption of the Single Sign-On (SSO) and related directory and access control infrastructure.
13. Federal E-Authentication The E-Authentication Solution created the US E-Authentication Identity Federation which allows Federation members to recognize and trust log-in IDs that are issued by other trusted Federation members. The trusted members that issue these log-in IDs may be other government agencies, academic institutions, or commercial entities, such as banks or other financial services institutions. There is opportunity for Utah to participate in this initiative by establishing the UMD as a trusted entity.
