Yes, you want single sign-on. You could do it the way you suggested, but I have a feeling that will lead to problems down the line. Maybe something like this - http://shibboleth.internet2.edu/ - along with an application management framework (even for applications around your university) is what you need. But it might be overkill if you are the only one in the campus wanting this kind of management. I don't know if my suggestion would help, but I am just throwing out the information and some thoughts from my experience.
