Well, yes, kind of - as there are quite often complaints about the missing global logout.

I don't know your needs, I don't know what you're looking for - in my opinion SSO here is (sorry if this is too short): provide authentication for some Web-applications (hosted at your organization and also external ones) with one centrally managed set of credentials (Username/Password, Chipcard...) from inside and outside your institution's network with the authentication happening at your site.
SSO could also be: have me logged in in all (in-house) applications with the credentials I used when logging in to the computer without ever entering my username/password a second time (something like this integrated windows authentication-thing).

Kind regards.
