Strange, most people want Single Sign Ons these days. What you want is
what they already have and want to get away from.

I'm looking forward to reading the solution(s) to your problem.

My 2 cents' worth: different logins (CNs, DCs etc in the DN)? How would
=you= give a unique user 3 different passwords in NIS or /etc/shadow?
Then how do you suppose you could give a unique DN 3 different
passwords?
