Adding SSO to Existing Infrastructure

Like many organizations, when organically grown, additional services are required to support the growing needs. We needed to add all out demo servers infrastructure under user federated authentication and authorization. The challenge is to keep current system without any changes but add additional security (In our case One Time Passwords via Mobile device app).
