What is Sandbox?

Well its a system setup mainly for the purpose of practicing testing and doing other development activities which you are skeptic to do directly in ur development system as the ramifications might be really dangerrous depending on what you are trying to do.

So they have a Sandbox where you can practice all tricks and test various things without worrying about sideeffect etc.

Single Sign on .

to put in simple terms its one single ID and password to logon to all the systems you have in ur organisation.

Helps in identity management and easy tracking and access control.

Also removes the necessity to remember huge volume of user ID's and passwords.

SOD

Any activity in a business scenario is a collection of indepent tasks.

now if these task are all done by a single person then there is chance of misappropriation and consequent fraud.

To give a example creation of check and release of it are two activitys which if done by the same person create a scope of fraud being committed.

So SOD (or Segragation of duties) is an analysis to reduce this by splitting the activities to minimize the risk

Hope this helps

Sandbox is an SAP instance or client used for prototyping.

SOD = Segregation of duties. separation of different functions and responsibility over transactions. Lot's of information on it one the web.

Single sign on Single sign-on (SSO) is a specialized form of software authentication that enables a user to authenticate once and gain access to the resources of multiple software systems. Search the forums and you will find info on it.
