Accounts & SSO, accounts-sso, or lately gSSO is a single sign-on framework for computers.
Originating as part of Maemo 5 [2] Accounts-SSO is free software licensed under LGPL 2.1. Accounts-SSO was deployed as a standard component of Nokia N900, Nokia N9, [3] Tizen, [4] and Ubuntu. [5] Later it was integrated in KDE Plasma Workspaces. [6] [7]
Accounts-SSO was originally developed by Nokia who eventually shipped it as part of Maemo 5 [2] on November 16, 2009. [8] [9]
It was later integrated into MeeGo 1.2 Handset software platform [10] [11] which was formally released on May 18, 2011. [12]
After the MeeGo project ended, Accounts-SSO was transferred into an independent project by Intel. [13] Canonical Ltd then adopted Accounts-SSO for Ubuntu 12.10 [14] (later also Ubuntu Touch [15]) and KDE integrated it in November 2012. [16]
Among Accounts-SSO's features are a plugin-based architecture, working with diverse user interfaces, storage back-ends, and varying levels of security. [3] [13] [17]
While Accounts-SSO is primarily being used for centralized login management to social networking services, e.g. sharing photos to a service from an image managing application and chatting on the same service from an instant messenger, its plugin-based architecture also allows for local usage, such as disk encryption for which a cryptsetup plugin for Accounts-SSO was developed. [18]
The Accounts-SSO framework consists of several individually released components:
libaccounts-qt.so.1: Maemo 5.0: added
[…] just a quick note to you all that we (Intel OTC) are rewriting the SSO daemon and authentication plugins in C using glib and gdbus […]
