Live@edu SSO redefined the alternate approach.

Microsoft provides the best service called Live@edu. This is good idea for making the schooling paper free, meaning by saying paper free is that Microsoft provides with the facility to store all the document and communication service for school and universities

Moreover this service is free for schools and any educational organization. It provides centrally hosted email service. you can get the information about Live@edu from here To be more technical I must return to the fact that this is being written not for marketing Live@edu service but it is more about Single Sign On [SSO] provided with the SSO toolkit with Live@edu account.

Microsoft provides the SSO toolkit which is sort of sample code, with the help of which you can integrate the SSO with your application. You will get the SSO toolkit when you registered your school with Live@edu, On configuration page you can find the SSO Enable option. You can reach to that here .
Being little bit technical the SSO is working on generating the SLT which is termed as Short Live Token. This Short Live Token will be generated on the bases of following parameters 1. SiteID 2. Certificate. SiteID will be provided from Microsoft when an educational organization is being registered. Certificate will be provided when SSO is enabled for Live@edu account.
This certificate will be stored on Local server. Local computer or Personal account. This will be cumbersome. This will lead to huge collection of certificate on server.

Better alternative to this problem is to store this certificate in database as binary form. then following function will be helpful retrieving and manipulating the certificate.
