Of course SSO, as I was referring to, means that you sign on once, and 
not several times with the same account. My ideas are more on the track 
of using the same account to identify yourself and without the need to 
register several accounts.

Some of the pros of OpenID are:

* No need to register additional accounts. Only the need to apply rights 
to accounts in enabled systems.
* Saves time for the user.
* Can be reused by the user for other services outside TDF.
* Already several implementations for open source programming languages.
* Well-known

And some cons:

* Somewhat higher security risk. On the other hand, we don't store 
financial data or something similar.
* If you get any problems with your account, it will affect all services.

What do others think? Do we have other technologies to concider? Or any 
objections/additions to the list? :-)

Best
