Can you provide a definition of SSO, are you talking in relation to Single Sign On? To my understanding, you are creating a map of farms or environments in remote locations but Nagvis will not do the job correctly, if you can send a little more information our way as to why it is not, and what specifically you need we can better help.

You will most likely have to log in again since NagVis uses a separate authentication database. Though there may be a way around this I was unable to find anything when I rummaged around their web site. I do know that you can login without authentication but this of course is a security issue, none the less here is the portion regarding that:
How to run NagVis WITHOUT authentication?

We do not recommend such a setup but here are two possible ways to do it:
mod_rewrite

The following mod_rewrite config maps the user "nagiosadmin" to NagVis:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteLock var/log/rewrite.lck
RewriteLog /dev/null
RewriteLogLevel 0

# The following line is the really important step,
# it tells the webserver that the user "nagiosadmin" has
# successfully authenticated and is sending the request,
# regardless who is sending it really.

RewriteRule /nagvis/ - [E=REMOTE_USER:nagiosadmin]
It may also still be possible to configure NagVis to it's old style of authentication which relied on Nagios:
