Why to use Single Sign-On in custom software

Benefits of solutions under the same roof

Problems with identities you can run into when using separate systems for partial activities instead of one global custom system.

Main ideas

Software under the same roof can use Single Sign-On, one identity for all its parts.

  1. More software means more confusion (different user interfaces).
  2. Different logins in different systems (an employee has to be added to and removed from every system).
  3. Missing Single Sign-On.
  4. Software runs on different addresses (bookmarks), the parts cannot be linked together.

Script

The theme is a physical bunch of keys (passwords, identities).

  1. Different software, different UI (different types of keys: old ones, FAB, number codes, chips, cards)
    • a slot machine, on one reel pictures of locks, on the other one keys
    • the guy pulls the lever, the reels spin and the key does not fit the lock, he pulls again and this time it fits
    • the reels slowly turn and the locks and keys are shown below each other, we can see how many different locks and keys there are
  2. Different logins in different systems (a growing number of keys)
    • the boss (the guy) gives keys to a new employee one by one (with a bubble showing the icon of the system)
    • the employee puts them on his bunch, his hand gets heavier and his face more and more unhappy
    • a detail of the bunch with more and more keys, cards, chips, …
  3. Missing Single Sign-On (unlocking every time)
    • a prison corridor with rooms one after another, every time a key has to be found and a door unlocked (repeating)
    • a detail of the first lock, the bunch of keys and unlocking
    • the door opens and at the end of the room there is another door
    • the guy comes to the door and simply unlocks and opens it
    • loop
  4. Addresses depending on identity (two guys unlock the same folder, one sees a picture of a cat, the other one of a dog)
    • the first guy takes a picture of a cat, puts it into a folder and locks it with his key (with a ball of wool keyring)
    • he hands the folder over to the second guy, who unlocks it with his key (with a bone keyring), but there is a picture of a dog inside
