Active Directory Login for Site

Hello all,

we are exploring the possibility of creating a salesforce site that would be protected by active directory authentication (LDAP). Does anyone have experience with this, or thoughts on how it might be accomplished? I don't know much about how sites store session data, or how to make data persist across pages. Any information in that venue would be much appreciated as well. Thank you.

sites is for unauthenticated public websites. Sites integrates with salesforce portals for authenticated access and salesforce portals provide SAML SSO support.

Hmm, well thats too bad. I was hoping I could find some free way to pull this off, we were really trying to avoid buying more licenses.
