Hi
 
I've been setting up SSO for Windows. I thought it would be worth
mentioning a problem I encountered, as it took me a day or so to figure
it out. 
 
If you set a password on the SSO account which has a single-quote
(apostrophe) in it, CCA will accept it, but the next time you restart
the CAS in question, various things will stop working, including DHCP
and SSO itself. This is because the password gets written to a couple of
shell scripts (one being /perfigo/access/bin/env), and when the script
is executed, the unpaired quote causes the rest of the file to be
absorbed, so the SSO password is wrong and all the other environment
variables set later in the file don't exist. 
 
Changing the password to something more innocuous and restarting the CAS
fixed the problem with no after-effects
 
Regards
