EDIT: June 22 2010. Not long after posting this I became aware of this tool from Microsoft. Unbelievably Microsoft seems to have released this last year and not told anybody about it. As far as I can tell hardly anyone is using this yet. I would suggest using this tool is probably a better solution than the Seroter style one we at Burch Consulting built. END EDIT

In the BizTalk world we’ve been using the BizTalk SSO configuration tool for about 3 years now. Richard Seroter supplied the original here: http://seroter.wordpress.com/2007/09/21/biztalk-sso-configuration-data-storage-tool/

The problem with this tool was that you couldn’t add fields to an existing application and you couldn’t export/import the field values (only the field list). So we’ve fixed all that. We’ve also added a pick list of configured applications (which behind the scenes is also stored in SSO) so you can use a drop down to retrieve applications settings. (Only applications that this tool saves will be available in the pick list. For pre-existing applications you’ll have to type in the application name to retrieve them the first time).

The tool is for download at

Let me know if you’ve got any feedback.
