Data structures, procedures and system components that support the SSO functionality in a distributed networked environment are included in the secured network. The SSO functionality can be implemented and integrated into an existing network platform or used as the backbone protocol to new network installations. DCE-based features as well as ERA and EAC can be utilized as the foundation for the implementation. The SSO functionality may be implemented and integrated without requiring significant low level development or major modifications in a network.Other References
