Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread aka North America Home Owners Association Thread
I hate people that use terms that are not really what then seem.
Vendor: We use Google SSO services!
Me: Great! Is the site smart enough to use the auth'd google session for creds on the site? Or does it require a separate login process using a Google API?
Vendor: Our Google SSO creates comparable accounts on the site side, for site specific features. This would be permissions, and specific grouping (staff directory, SLMS). Password data is never stored on our site and would not be the same.
Me: So it isn't really a SSO then. You are pulling the user data and then creating users on your side, correct? Passwords not the same? If you used the auth'd session to know the user was logged in such as Fox News, CNN, Facebook, etc do then that would be more along what we are looking for.
Vendor: The confusion I feel comes from what I said regarding the accounts being created on our sites. Essentially, we re-produce the user data, so that there is an account that we may work with within the site. E.g. Applying page permissions, or Page Ownership for teacher pages. No API and it can be an excel upload.
Me: Again, so not a SSO then...
