Hi,
I guess that OpenID would be one of the first things to look at. It can however only SSO http(s) based solutions. I'm not sure if Google supports it but PKI might be a solid way so solve it to.

Subject: [users@httpd] Google Apps authentication

Hi

We currently use LDAP authentication on all our apache servers to authenticate our staff against our AD. However we are looking at a mass move to Google Apps and need to allow the single sign on ability still.

We can keep the AD in place, and then have Google suck the AD account details from that ("authenticate against AD" would be the wrong term). We could also then use AD for the apache stuff still.

However there is also an idea to move away from AD completely as we are increasingly non-AD specific (macs, linux etc). Does anyone know if there is a module already in use that would allow apache to authenticate using Google App details?
