(Get the code!)
To be honest, I think that is a feature elementary does not need at this moment. The software that is already shipped with elementary OS is not stable and sophisticated enough for enterprise use - elementary itself is not enterprise-ready and I do not think that is the eOS developers' target audience. Before we waste required development time on wishes like these, we should improve the operating system's core.
One more thing: Ubuntu and Debian itself are pretty bad at that topic - There is no native solution to managing the services (Kerberos, PAM, etc). Just some open-source solutions by third party companies (Mint does use one of that). So, there is no simple "settings" page we could write. We would need a much more sophisticated solution and I don't think the eOS developers have spare time for that topic.
For using Linux in enterprise environments (and Active Directory), you should probably look into Red Hat based distributions.
