LDAP web application using Single sign-on authentication

I am developing a LDAP web application to access windows active directory contents. I am new to LDAP and single sign-on authentication. At first step, I have developed log in service using "unboundid" java sdk, but now I want to change it to work with single sign-on or open-id authentication. Could any one suggest me solutions/resources for how to perform user authentication of LDAP web application using single sign-on mechanism?

I have gone through some posts out there on internet, but all they are related to open-id authentication using LDAP server. No one has mentioned how to do it for LDAP web application. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!!

LDAP (or any auth abomination formed with it) won't provide you with true SSO (Single Sign On), you will need to implement it using the WWW-Authenticate header and negotiating for kerberos.

This is one idea that will work with an existing AD Server.

Here is an excellent question regarding authentication
