Intient GConnect - Google Apps Single Sign On (SSO) and Provisioning
GConnect from Intient is the ideal, easy to deploy solution for organizations of all sizes looking to securely provide single sign on for their users to the full range of Google Apps services including Google Mail, Google Calendar and Google Docs.
GConnect utilizes the investment you've already made in any LDAP compliant directory server such as Active Directory to log your users in to Google Apps. Simply put this means your users authenticate locally using the username and password they already know and via GConnect are securely provided access to Google Apps.
No more remote passwords, no more helpdesk calls to reset accounts. GConnect makes life easy for users and saves hours of time for your support desk.
If you have an existing portal for some of your internal web content GConnect can integrate making navigation from content in your portal to Google Apps a smooth, seemless experience.
Still manually provisioning all your users accounts on Google Apps? GConnect can fully automate that process for you as well.
If you have a large Active Directory deployment GConnect supports an even more advanced mode we call true single sign on. Login to your workstation of a morning and automatically access all Google Apps content. There is no need for your users to enter their username and password each time they open a web browser. It works for IE AND Firefox users on Windows with no client side software to install. ( If you're on a Linux desktop you can get true SSO to work on that platform as well we don't discriminate ).

Technology
GConnect is built using Java SE 6 which means that it is available for use on Linux, OSX, Windows and Solaris based servers.
The system is distributed as an easy to deploy package including all the components you need such as Apache Tomcat.
GConnect supports a flexible plugin system for authentication. By default the system connects to any LDAP compliant directory server for verifying username and password details. Optionally this plugin architecture can be taken advantage of to integrate with almost any authentication system you already have including for example a corporate web portal. This opens up many wonderful opportunities for embedding Google Apps into your current environment. Intient is able to provide professional services to assist you in integrating if needed.
GConnect is compliant with the SAML 2.0 specification and secures all outbound tokens with public/private keypair crypto to ensure a secure SSO experience
Finally GConnect has been tested with a wide range of client browsers across all major operating systems to ensure the system works equally well for all.
