Sami - Thanks for the links on LDAP, that looks like a solid path to single sign on. <div><br></div><div>I have looked at OpenID previously, but I think it would be challenging for the low-tech community members to deal with.

If the person has one, they do not know which url to provide, and the sign in process is multi-step. </div>
