Single Sign-On: A Rick the Toolman episode.

Show Notes

Single Sign-On (SSO) in the real world is complicated and messy and how we got there is a byzantine maze of innovation and standards that has taken years. But, if zero trust is the first principle strategy we are all trying to pursue, getting Identity and Access Management (IAM) right is the most important tactic. And, SSO is a piece of the entire Identity and Access Management puzzle. Rick summarizes the history and current state of Single Sign-On with some Rick the Toolman thrown in.
