RE: SSO possible with web apps?
There are some solutions out there.
PubCookie developed by University of Washington is one of the solutions
that might fit into your problem statement.

Subject: SSO possible with web apps?
Forgive me if this has been previously addressed. I am new to this list
and fairly new to OpenLDAP.
Here is my situation. In our company, we have multiple open source web
applications that we use. Some are web apps that are under active
development by others (like Metadot and Mantis), and some we have
developed in-house in PHP or Perl. Each is capable of using an LDAP
server for authentication. The web apps are running on 3 different
Apache servers. We're not running any J2EE or anything like that. Just
simple mod_perl and mod_php apps.
However, each user has to retype his user_id and password for each
application. My boss would like to have things set up in such a way
that when a user logs into one application and is authenticated against
the common LDAP server, they won't need to retype their user_id and
password for any of the other applications.
My statement to him was: I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THAT. My question to
you: Is this even possible?
