Google Apps SAML 2.0 Single Sign On (SSO) IWA support

Not too many users are aware that when they sign on to their Windows desktop in the morning, by providing their main ID and Password to the machine, they are generating accessing a Windows security function called IWA.

Google Apps is being rolled out to many of these same users, and, for a variety of reasons, Single Sign On (SSO) function is needed or wanted for those users.  Google requires implementation of the SAML 2.0 standards protocol in order to enable Single Sign On to Google Apps.

More and more organizations desire the option of leveraging the IWA security information that is generated by the user when login to the Windows desktop is completed as the main mechanism for enabling SSO support to Google Apps.
