Rack+SSO by Corey Donohoe

Single sign-on (SSO)is a user authentication process that permits a user to enter one name and password in order to access multiple applications. The process authenticates the user for all the applications they have been given rights to and eliminates further prompts when they switch applications during a particular session. In this presentation Corey will talk about the work he has been doing at Engine Yard and how you can use Rack to implement SSO.
