Automatically open application

We are working on getting SalesForce.com setup so our users can use SSO to login and be connected directly to salesforce and not have to login again if they already are logged in. We were able to accomplish this using a Webtop. We login and it presents us with our SalesForce icon, clicking on it takes me into SalesForce. What I want to do is that when the user goes to a subdomain we have setup (salesforce.ourdomain.com) they are presented with the Login page from the F5 if they are not logged in already then they login. It then takes them to SalesForce site automatically without ever seeing the Webtop. Is this possible if so can someone give me some information on how to accomplish this?

    This should be possible. One way off the top of my head would be to have a VS with an Access Policy that performs a login to your Salesforce URL. On that VS, you would have a VPE policy that checks for the user's credentials (and other necessary checks) and then does the SAML call out to Salesforce as the default action. I've done a similar exercise with Google Apps.

     

    I've been wanting to look into this as well, so I am signing up for a trial with Salesforce and will give this a shot.

    This setup via a webtop is fairly easy to do. I haven't figured out yet how to apply the resource without a webtop, however. I'll keep poking at it.
