AD (at least) can be used on other platforms to automatically authenticate a connection w/out prompting the user for credentials. If RoR could use it that way it would amount to single-sign-on I think.
Can RoR & its typical deployment stack not use AD like that?

Again, I don't think this would help authenticate to multiple apps. There may be other good reasons to use these methods of authentication, but they do not address the OP's issue.
