Alex,

    Some extra information on this issue:

    The user gets logged on, actually.  If I stop the cycle (by
clicking on the browser stop button) and then try 
http://www.google.com/a/upr.edu
I get the dashboard as the user I was trying to log on if it is an
administrator, otherwise I get the Google apps logon page telling me I
need to be an admin to get to the dashboard.  So the acs is creating
the session, but is not redirecting the browser correctly or the start
page is not recognizing the session.

Thought it might help you...

Thanks,
Carlos
