Dave,

Active Directory is the authentication standard with Microsoft Azure
(of course) and can be federated with Amazon Web Services i.e.
http://blogs.aws.amazon.com/security/post/Tx71TWXXJ3UI14/Enabling-Federation-to-AWS-using-Windows-Active-Directory-ADFS-and-SAML-2-0

After authentication, the SAML "binding" protocol does not enforce a
secure communications channel and can therefore be transmitted over
HTTP.
