[JDEV] MS opens up Passport and HailStorm

[Jonathan Siegle]

What did you think it was? Didn't you see in big letters the phrase
"Single sign on"? Maybe you didn't know DCE uses kerberos V. There are
differences in the two implementations like Passport uses cookies. Take a
look at http://avirubin.com/passport.html for more discussion on this. And
while I would concur it would be difficult to do with kerberos what
Microsoft is attempting to do with Passport, I wouldn't claim that it is
impossible.
