Maybe the system is byzantine that only this guy understands it well enough to make the change.

Yeah, that's likely, but it's also a terrible sign of mismanagement.

I once worked at a big company that had literally one guy that understood the single sign on system.

If that's the case, then that should be the real story. What if the guy gets hit by a bus, then the issue will never get fixed.
