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.

Because the responses are unhelpful, and maybe people won't be as likely to post them if they feel like they'll be redundant.
And this is why we can't have nice things.

No, it's precisely why we DO have nice things.
99% of the time the best answer is not the one you want.
I know I'm kind of picking this apart unnecessarily, but you say, "Has anyone seen any solution for this that actually works, or is this the Holy Grail of all IT?" Why would it be one or the other, and why would this possibly be the Holy Grail of all IT?
