Yesterday was the 5th Site meeting, something I'd never been to before. I actually found it quite interesting and came away with many things I'd like to work on here at WOU. For general overviews, you can read through Ellis' blog or Travis' blog.
One thing specifically that I was interested in was the SSO issue we've been attempting to deal with here. We have been looking at a way to use the Sun portal cookie to establish SSO between everything, however we do not have all the pieces yet to implement it, and it had been stalled for some time. After the meeting, there was a mini-meeting within our office to discuss ways to move forward with SSO, even if it's just a baby step. Ellis and I have agreed to implement SSO cookie with just our pl/sql apps. We're using cookies already within our apps that require log-in, so it's really just the next step. We're still working out all the specifics, but I think it will be up and running very soon. This is very exciting and should really make a difference, especially for the people on campus that use our apps quite often.
