SSO: SAPGUI users with MS-Activedirectory and SAP AS on UNIX

Question

Hello
from previous posts, it looks like Unix based SAP installations are on the losing side here since there is no SAP based solution for SSO with SAPGUI and AD, investment into 3rd party products is needed.
My Q. is: If I will install dialog server on windows and move SCS services include msg server to this thin dialog server, will this be sufficient to solve to SSO problems?
the idea is just to solve the login stage and the user continue to word on unix based AS.
what do you think?

That are two errors on diffrent times.
I check the Times:
net time: 07:42
net time
sapServer: 07:42
net time
client: 07:42
When I shutdown the SAP Instance, logoff and login, and restart the SAP Instance then the SAP Instance startet successful:
N Thu Jul 03 08:19:58 2008

But under the SAP-Instance starting I get now the ERROR KDC_ERR_BADOPTION. And here I found: The Eventlog Time is 08:06:11 and the Servertime in the Eventprotocol is 06:06:12!!! Is this the diffrent?? But with NET TIME are the times okay!?
And from time to time I get in the Application Event Log the Error: SAP-Basis System: Run-time error "CALL_FUNCTION_SNC_REQUIRED" occurred.
