This might be a pointer in the right direction, or might be a wild goose 
chase.  (And apologies if the latter.)

I did a project a few employers ago to add single-signon capabilities to 
their product, via integration with Active Directory.  It's been a bunch 
of years since the project, so I don't remember a lot.  But IIRC the way 
we did it was to use libcurl in conjunction with GSSAPI (which, IIRC, is 
not compiled into libcurl by default) in order to do the integration.  I 
eventually did get it to work, and the product successfully did SSO 
using the AD system.

Again, not 100% sure if this is the info you're looking for.  If so, and 
if you have additional questions, feel free to respond back on or 
off-list and I can refer back to my notes for more details.

HTH,
