Two ideas:

1. Use the Kerberos support in the LDAP plugin for this.
2. Use a web SSO solution, like OpenSSO (or the new fork OpenAM),
Siteminder, CrowdAuth, etc.

The Kerberos support in the LDAP plugin is fairly easy to configure. See:

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LDAP_Authentication/Kerberos_Configu
ration_Examples

If you have a mixed environment, and not all of your systems are configured
for Kerberos, a web SSO solution may be better.

Let me know if you have any issues.

Respectfully,
