WHY WAS IT CALLED SINGLE-SIGN ON WHEN SIGN-ON 37 TIMES PER DAY WAS RIGHT THERE

@joeblubaugh fun fact: this was the basis for the movie Signs

@joeblubaugh because you have to sign on every single time

@joeblubaugh it's short for every single task requires a separate sign on 🙃

@joeblubaugh@hachyderm.io Okta? More like "okta throw it in the garbage" am I right?

@joeblubaugh my employer has two Single-Sign-On systems.

Yeah.

@joeblubaugh multiple accounts with single-sign-on with multiple competing factors, yay!

And regular check of factors! Microsoft makes it possible!

@joeblubaugh Single for Me (the AD Server) not for Thee (The User)

@joeblubaugh Thanks Hudu. At least 10 times a day, sometimes even 5 minutes away from the tab.

@joeblubaugh It's called single-sign-on because you have to sign on every single time you try to do something

@joeblubaugh

It’s called Single Sign On ‘cause you sign on every single time.

@joeblubaugh@hachyderm.io ohohohoho are you confusing Single Sign-On with Same Sign-On?

@joeblubaugh See also: "Stay logged in... for maybe five minutes then you'll be logged out again, probably because you rejected cookies."

@miketorr @joeblubaugh That's it. You've got it. The primary business motivation here is that the company needs to only buy a "single" system not multiple. It has nothing to do with the user.

@joeblubaugh it's called that because there's a single person doing all the work : you

@joeblubaugh as someone currently deploying SSO across multiple systems I feel this toot should have a CW. Going back under my blanket now

@dashlion @joeblubaugh I'm so sorry. The best piece of career advice I ever got, from my manager at the time, was "never get the Identity on you". (I did end up getting it on me a bit, but it washed off after a few years.)
