You mentioned to setup singlesignon as specified. Does that mean that various tables of the database are to be duplicated manually, as I have seen in some instructions.

ie. keep user tables as shared_
yet change tables such as www_node to racing_node

Or when setting up a drupal site that will go multidomain (i.e. www.the-murrays.net, racing.the-murrays.net). I should set-up one site without different db table prefixes (i.e. the www. site), then use the multidomain module to create the racing. site ?

Thanks in advance ...

Hi Sean,
For using multidomain, you do not have to setup an additional database, and you can have just one settings.php. You do not have to setup the db prefixing/shared aspects or do anything w/ these in the settings.php

You just should setup the singlesignon module on the Drupal settings page for that module. Then, once you setup the multidomain and the ServerAlias, you should be all set. So, under these circumstances you have one set of Drupal files/settings.php, one database, and multiple domains, which are really just aliases of your single site, and multidomain works to rewrite the URLs that are shown on a page so the user gets put on the proper domain based on the settings you construct for that domain using the multidomain module settings.

Hope this helps
Ian
