Re-engineering Web Applications from MSO to SSO

Nowadays a lot of small companies maintain multiple websites that require the user to sign up for ordering products or extended interaction. The users have to create an account for each website the company owns, creating duplicate information for the company and forcing the customer to remember multiple accounts. Where big companies can solve the problem with commercial solutions, small companies do not have the funding. MediaMij, a small publisher, has to deal with exactly this situation. In this project we investigate options to find a solution for MediaMij. We research ways of re-engineering the current web applications to enable a single central customer database with Single Sign On capabilities. The research renders an approach for the situation which will be verified by conducting 2 case studies on 2 of the current websites of MediaMij. With the verified approach we were able to form a set of guidelines describing how to approach projects that are alike.
