sure.  it is on pg 58 and 59 in the Wi admin guide.  I messed with it using
WI 4 and PS 4 with the v9 client but I think any client above 6 will do it.

the keys are:

Installing the full win32 client and choosing yes when it asks about using
pass through.

then you have to edit the appsrv.ini file for each client.  in the
[wfclient] section add:
EnableSONThruICAFile=On
SSOnUserSetting=On

from there you enable in on the web interface site and you are done.  I edit
the config files myself but the gui will do it too.

there are some other catches.  If a user has not authenticated into your
domain and tries to hit the web interface (like a home user) they don't get
promoted for credentials and can't get in.  I suggest making a second Wi
site for these people and link to it from the logged off page so if users
have trouble with pass through, they can still manually enter their
credentials.  I have some kix scripts that can tweak the appsrv.ini file and
fix the client if you did not pick yes to the pass through question when it
was installed.  I don't have them where I am at the moment or else I would
go ahead and post them.
