SSO Customisation

DualShield 6 has a new SSO server which can be customized more easily and its customization will be retained in the future upgrades. However, if you prefer to continue using the legacy SSO server after upgrading, then you must backup your customization files prior to upgrading, then restore them after upgrading.
