I received an estimate to implement SSO with Salesforce (as the service provider) and Active Directory (as the identity provider).

I have a lot of Salesforce experience and a little bit of Active Directory experience, but I have never implemented SSO so I'm not quite sure of the complexity involved.

The estimate was for 20 hours.  That is for the entire SSO configuration of the Salesforce side and the Active directory side.  (the Active Directory server is already in place with basic ADS.)

Does this seem reasonable?  

Thanks!

Salesforce SSO with Active Directory

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.

Active Directory

Salesforce is a Platform as a Service (PaaS) for cloud-based customer resource management that includes components for case and task management, data management and a help desk system. It also includes systems for add-on applications written in Apex, a proprietary Java-like language, and systems for human resources management, employee training and performance management.
