Re: [OpenID] OpenID and SSO

Depends how fussy you are about the meaning of words.

In some corners of the OpenID universe, there is no SSO; there is only "CCA" - cross-company authentication.

SSO is a fighting term, between vendors. There is "real" SSO, half-baked SSO, SSO that is not SSO, SSO that is
simple rather than single, and SSO such as OpenID - all these being manifestations of folks trying to
bundle some or other "control policy" into the obvious benefit that folk clearly want : be able to apply 1
credential on lots of sites and stop sharing those (bad) passwords!

How far are we from implementing SSO for OpenID?
