My point exactly.  It's not a native OS/400 solution.

In my largest clients the IT function are split into iSeries, desktop, and
network, etc..  3 iSeries datacenters around the world, the other groups in
different cities in the US.  There is little if no cooperative work between
them.  We will never run a Linux, AIX, or have Intel in our iSeries as these
responsibilities are all held by other political groups.

No they don't.

SSO/EIM requires a Kerberos server, and while it's true that most shops
probably end up using Windows Active Directory, it is certain not required.

You can run Kerberos on a number of servers and may even be able to run one
on the iSeries using PASE.
