#59I'm working on a piece of software (SaaS, self-hosted) that acts as a reverse proxy and stores credentials. The goal is to avoid having to require users to know any secrets other than the ones you already trust them to have (a domain login, a Google Apps account, etc.) The goal is to have a single-sign on for the entire internet, and any topology of mapping users to accounts. Account per user could be used if you wan…
