I remember sitting in on a meeting where an “enterprise” consultant was trying to sell the telecom I worked for at the time on a single sign on system that worked by wrapping intranet sites in a frame with a shared cookie.
He insisted on calling the cookie a secure token so it would seem different.
Asking price? $100k
Wouldn’t shock me if it was related.

- yayana 8y agoHmm, aside from the triviality, it sounds like they may also have patented pre-existing art in 2006 then.. I-Planet portal server can be traced back through Webtop to Pony Express.. It was one of several competitors in the late 1990s, and I think they all provided this style of SSO.
- sk5t 8y agoOnly $100k? That is much, much less than a big ol' intrusive SiteMinder or BMC project. In fact, it's so cheap as to cast serious doubt on the consultant's credibility. And I am already assuming this happened about 15 years ago.
