You can use different SSO mechanism for different application based on your application.

• Using Machine Config

• Single Sign-on Within a Second Level Domain

• Cross Domains Using Common database(Implementation should be taken care by us)

However, I could see "Out-of-box SSO" service from Live, Google, Yahoo, Facebook etc. to provide authentication by supporting SAML. This will help us to get rid of the issues maintaining our own SSO service implementation.
