This is completely confusing. I have enough to do without deciphering Realtor Association technology.

It’s just some technology that makes it easy for agents to log into SFRAO without having to type in username/passwords, plus whatever that token number is, all the time. The SFRAO is paranoid about non-agents getting inside information (well, it’s actually paranoid that unauthorized users get access to its information so they lose $$ on subscription fees). But it does not have to make it that difficult for paying agents. But… honestly SFRAO is probably a little local monopoly of some sort so they can do whatever they want – they don’t have to make it easy for anybody, because, like Lily Tomlin once said, they don’t care. They don’t have to. They are the phone company.

SFRAO tech guy needs to look into client digital certificates, and a little four letter acronym called SAML.
