What the project will achieve

As TMF CO~OP tackles the question of how to integrate different management systems the question of easing the user login and preventing a decrease in security arises quickly. The CO~OP team set out to find a workable approach that would guide us into the future. The CO~OP Team working with select Mobile Service Providers are defining a Single Sign On solution along with Operator User Management capabilities to provide a comprehensive solution.

High level objectives were

• Ease of use
• Ease of administration
• Increased or at least not weaker security
• Open standards supported by products
• Future proof
• Not re-inventing the wheel, go with IT mainstream technology
• Avoiding centralization, but not ruling it out either
• Allow plug-and-play
