Hi Shadowalker,

we might have been doing something similar to this a couple of months ago...

Good starting points are...
Custom authentication provider
http://symfony.com/doc/2.0/cookbook/security/custom_authentication_provider.html

Custom user provider
http://symfony.com/doc/2.0/cookbook/security/custom_provider.html

In our case, we created a service that lets us easily use the API to our 
(completely external!) single sign-on, while relying on that SSO to 
authenticate and also load users in our Symfony2 application. Once found we 
do create a link between our "local user" (=Symfony2 user - the Symfony2 
user table doesn't contain any SSO data, except for an SSO user id to link 
things up) and a "SSO user" (=non-Symfony2 SSO application).

Hope this helps!

Kind regards,
David
