I recall hearing a presentation about a university augmenting the
service manager to provide for centralized authorization. I don't
recall the details, but it likely would not address your needs
directly but it does highlight that it's possible to leverage the
service manager as a platform for implementing features like this.

I would recommend you consider leveraging forced authentication
(renew=true) for services d, e, and f. While it doesn't provide for
centralized control of security policy, it would satisfy the
requirement for reauthentication to reach the more secure services.
