There are a lot of problems with Sungard/Banner software/webCT integration. Colleges want to forget all about security - it just has to be easy and cheap.

Care to detail about the problems with Sungard/Banner/WebCT?

I attend classes at a university that uses this combination. I saw a few issues with it just via common usage and a learned eye, but decided not to dig in. The main reason being issues like this article outlines. I refuse to dig into anything these days without a company providing liability protection between me and it.

At the very least, it doesn't encrypt all its traffic, and cookie/session hijacking is possible. The way most college campus networks are managed, this poses a real threat.
