Windows XP single sign-on applications will fail on Windows 7, businesses were warned today.

ChangeBase, a company specialising in application compatibility testing, said a wide range of applications would not work under Windows 7.

They include biometric devices, smart card authentication and virtual private network for remote user authentication.

Users attempting to migrate from Windows XP to Windows 7 will need to update their single sign-on applications, said Greg Lambert, technology director.

The problem follows a change in the Microsoft authentication component, orginally introduced in Windows Vista. Windows Vista has gained little traction in business, making the problem a non-issue for most organisations until now.
