The two authentication approaches address different problems. LDAP is not an SSO solution but instead a centralized authentication repository. ADFS looks like a SAML IdP implementation for active directory. An IdP is meant to provide an identity service that can be consumed by external resources as a SAML IdP.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_Assertion_Markup_Language#The_SAML_Use_Case In the diagram above, think of ADFS as your IdP and Remedy as the Service Provider. This can work with the mid-tier, but it's probably never going to work with the user tool. One has to understand that the Service Provider has to issue a SAML assertion and the client has to respond accordingly. I don't know that the hooks to do this through the native client are exposed. SAML is generally used for web applications since they can redirect, negotiate, and use session information from your web browser.
