Hello!

I also work on something like this, however, instead of selecting a webapp out 
of the bunch for user credential storage, or LDAP or whatever, I decided to use 
basic apache authentication that authenticates to the operating system (unix 
password) using pwauth.
Mediawiki has a good plugin to use Basic authentitaction to auto create wiki 
users on their first login.
I make all apps use this authentication data, so "single sign on" is working. 
What more, it is running behind https - it was a must in our case.

However, I don't know if phpBB and others could use basic auth info from apache 
($_SERVER['REMOTE_USER'] ..or what)

Good luck
Robert
