Ask Slashdot: Single Sign-On To Link Google Apps and Active Directory?
trazom28 writes to seek answers to a problem faced by many businesses (and, as in this case, schools): "We are looking for a solution to a single sign on to coordinate Active Directory and Google. You can sync the passwords easily enough with Google Apps Password Sync, but ideally we would like the students and staff to be able to sign in once and be done. Additionally, the Google login requires the @domain.k12.wi.us so it would have to take the AD username, pass it along and tack on the domain to log into Google.
Has anyone seen any solution for this that actually works, or is this the Holy Grail of all IT? Please hold off on any Google haters, that's a different discussion for a different forum.

You can use Active Directory and/or OpenLDAP and then simpleSAMLphp and link to Google Apps.
We do it this way:
1) RCDevs WebADM LDAP Directory (or in your case Active Directory)
2) simpleSAMLphp There's actually a good tutorial to integrate with Google Apps here: https://simplesamlphp.org/docs...
3) Google apps confitured for SAML 2.0
It took me about 15 minutes to set it up.
Any question feel free to ask.
