Configuring SSO (Single Sign On ) in Sharepoint 2007

There are seven main activities that we need to do:
1. Create the SSO service account -- This is the account that the service will run under.
2. Create the SSO groups -- These groups are used to control who has the ability to administer SSO (export the master key) and who has the ability to manage it (add/remove application definitions.)
3. Configure the SSO Service - Set SSO to start and get it to use the service account.
4. Configure SQL Server - Authorize the SSO service account to SQL server.
5. Manage SSO - Setup SSO in MOSS including the groups and the database.
6. Manage the encryption key -- Create the encryption key that will be used for protecting the username and password information on the system.
7. Manage settings for enterprise application definitions -- Define what initial applications SSO will be setup to manage passwords for.
