Actually, for Apps specifically, you can go directly there:
http://www.google.com/a/

We've been using this for figleaf.com for quite a while, after
migrating from Exchange. Fig Leaf Software is also a Google Enterprise
partner, and we provide implementation and official Google Enterprise
training on Apps end-user functionality, Apps administration, and
Google Message Security/Google Message Discovery (aka Postini).

Feel free to get in touch with me if you have any questions about Apps!

... unless both accounts share the same email address. For example, I
have two Google accounts with the email address dwa...@figleaf.com.
One is a GAFYD account, the other is a regular Google account with
Gmail and Calendar not activated. This allows me to use public Google
services like Analytics but have the email sent to my domain account,
and is a somewhat common thing for people to do if they have a domain
account. In my experience, I can't log into both of those
simultaneously from the same browser.

On an intranet you could do some DNS voodoo to hijack a google DNS
name and set some cookies from that DNS name. But if you go that way
you should take a moment to consider the security consequences of
messing with Google accounts.

Which is why I don't think your clients will be happy if you do this.
Imagine having Gmail open in one tab with an almost complete message,
clicking your intranet link for the statistics and suddenly being
logged out from your own Gmail account and into another Google account
for the analytics.

Auto-Login to Google Analytics

2010-03-09 Thread Donnie Carvajal

We want to add single login access to Google Analytics from our Content 
Management System for our clients.  I know there is an API for grabbing the 
Analytics data, but we are not interested in reproducing the reports.  We like 
the UI provided by Google.  We just want to give our clients a link inside of 
the Administrative portion of the Content Management System that will open up 
the Analytics Profile reports.

Is it possible to authenticate to Google using the AuthSub and then pass the 
token in a GET/POST to Analytics?  If so, does anyone know the syntax?  Should 
I be looking at using OpenID instead?  I have found tons of articles explaining 
how to log in to everything but Google using OpenID.  It seems to me if Google 
has already authorized the login, then accessing the services should be allowed.

I realize that this problem is the same trying to access any Google services 
and this is not just Analytics specific.  So if anyone has had luck linking to 
any Google services from inside a password protected app, changing the service 
should be simple.

Any help is appreciated,

Donnie
