Cloud Apps and Single Sign-On (AD integration)
- by Pablo Alvim
I've been investigating some cloud vendors and the ability to implement single sign-on with them, especially when it comes to AD (Active Directory) integration.
So far I've learned that with Azure this is possible through ADFS and the AppFabric Access Control offer.
In AWS, since it is possible to create a VPN and see EC2 instances as a natural extension of a private datacenter, I believe implementing SSO would be rather simple (not sure if I'm right on this one... Please correct me if I'm wrong).
With App Engine though, even though there is some documentation on AD synchronization (not full integration) for Google Apps, I'm struggling to find out whether AD integration would be possible... Is there any strategy for that?
Any bit of information on cloud apps and AD integration will be appreciated!
