Each SSP has its own user profiles, and may or may not have things like user mysites. If you create a second SSP and associate a web app with that other SSP features like Profile attributes, MyLinks, and MySite link are immediately impacted. Each SSP also maintains its own Search Index, so that is one way to segment what is available to a given set of Applications and Site Collections. | |

| Jan 6, 2010 at 16:28 | comment | added | George2 | Thanks, guru! My confusion about item 3 is, how could other web site in MOSS 2007 uses the SSP (for "use", I mean provide end user the function provided by SSP from a SharePoint 2007 web site)? By adding a link the the SSP web site URL? From a webpart or? Appreciate if you could give me some comments or advice. | |
