Configuring SSO in SPS 2003

I'm learning about SP using the aPress book "Microsoft SharePoint: Building Office 2003 Solutions" by Hillier.

Chapter Six discusses the MS Single Sign-on (SSO) service and has a cookbook procedure for installing and configuring SSO.

At the end of the procedure, when setting the configuration settings for SSO in the SPS Manage Server Settings page, the following error was displayed:

"Warning: Single sign on configuration information could not be retrieved. Single sign-on might not be configured, or there might be a problem connecting to the single sign-on database or job server"

The event application log contained a more revealing message:

User DOMAIN\USER failed to configure the single sign-on server. The error returned as 0x80630009. Verify this account has sufficient permissions and try again.


Anyway, the following link helped to solve the issue. In a nutshell, the database and schema for SSO had not been created. Not sure if this was supposed to have been done under the covers at some point, if the book missed a step, or if it was a stupid user error. I did as the post prescribed and was able to successfully complete the installation. Click below for details.
