BPOS – Single sign-on for the Mac
Microsoft really do appear the be much better at supporting alternative platforms, the most obvious being the Mac. As part of the Business Productivity Online Suite (BPOS) they have recently released a single sign on application that will work with Mac OS.
More details and download from Microsoft.
The Microsoft Online Services Team Blog has some information showing how the application works and some limitations. The most notable limitations are
- - SSO only works with Safari 4 being default browser
- - Communicator is not currently available for the Mac
I managed to get the application installed and working on the Mac within a few minutes, the biggest issue I had was being unable to sign in and continually being prompted to say I had the wrong user name and password. After a couple of resets I found the solution.
Wrong username or password
If you have confirmed the username and password are correct but you continually get the login rejected, ensure that you have installed the application correctly. When you open the package you need to drag this into the applications folder for it to work.
Once signed in setting up Entourage was a single click process, very nice
