+/** represents a starting point for Single Signon interactions.
+    <P>The Single Signon ( SSO ) apis provide UNO based access to underlying
+       SSO implementations ( e.g. Kerberos ). The aim of the SSO apis is to
+       enable authentication ( possibly mutual ) between a client ( source or
+       initiator ) and a network service ( target or acceptor ). This is
+       achieved via. the creation and processing of security tokens sent
+       between the two parties. The steps which should be followed to
+       successfully use the SSO apis are as follows:
+    <UL>
+        <LI>Create an <type>XSSOManagerFactory</type> instance</LI>
+        <LI>Use this factory to create/retrieve an <type>XSSOManager</type>
+            instance.</LI>
+        <LI>Depending on whether your code is acting as SSO source or target,
+            you should use the <type>XSSOManager</type> instance to create an
+            initiator security context, <type>XSSOInitiatorContext</type> or an
+            acceptor security context, <type>XSSOAcceptorContext</type>
+            respectively.</LI>
+        <LI>On the initiator side, use the previously created context to process
+            security tokens received from the acceptor side and to create
+            security tokens to send to the acceptor side. On the acceptor side,
+            use the previously created context to process security tokens
+            received from the initiator side and to create security tokens to
+            send to the initiator side.</LI>
+    </UL>
