Since SAML (what Google uses for SSO) needs a browser in order function properly, alternative clients such as mobile devices can't leverage SAML SSO. Therefore, traditional authentication mechanisms (e.g. user id\password) are required. This becomes a challenge when SSO is enabled within Google because password management by the user within the web UI is disabled.
To allow access for alternative clients, a password needs to be created in Google Apps.
SSO Easy has two options available through its EasyConnect Single Sign On solution for doing this:
1) Allow the user to set a password in Google
The Google Password Updater will allow the user to create a "set and forget" password in Google (an alternative option is to have the Google Password Updater generate a mixed-case alphanumeric random password of a configurable length and strength on behalf of the user). This password is then pushed to Google via the Google API. This method eases password resets for users – they can simply generate a new password at any time in a self-service model.
2) Synchronize AD passwords with Google
When a user goes through the SSO process to access the web based Google Apps, their Active Directory / AD or LDAP password will automatically be sync with Google.

Active Directory is the most common IT repository for storing user credentials and security policies. IT organizations, for good reason, embrace the idea of this type of effective central management capability for user entitlement information.
Countless organizations are rolling out Google Apps to their users in an effort to reduce costs, improve productivity, and harness the synergy associated with collaboration among users and groups in the organization. In order to truly benefit from the promise of Google Apps, enabling support for Single Sign On capability is essential.
Google requires that organizations comply with the specifications of the SAML 2.0 protocol in order to enable SSO support.
More and more, organizations who are implementing Google Apps are requiring seamless integration, use and Password sync of credentials that currently reside in Active Directory for enabling SAML 2.0 Single Sign On (SSO) access to Google Apps.

Google Apps is being rolled out to countless users and organizations each day.
For many various reasons, Single Sign On (SSO) access to Google Apps is desired by those organizations. Google requires compliance with the SAML 2.0 security protocol in order to provide support for Single Sign On into Google Apps.
From the user perspective, they do not want an awkward, intrusive, difficult, or time-consuming experience. In short, they want to be able to operate and act as they always have done in the past.
Innovative IT organizations have recognized that these users are accustomed to (and widely accept) the notion that they need to sign in to the desktop machine each day, providing an ID and a Password.
These innovative IT organizations have embraced the optional deployment model of leveraging the ID and Password that the user provides when logging in to his desktop each morning, as the mechanism for triggering SAML 2.0 based Single Sign On (SSO) to Google Apps.
