For our area which is essentially the datacentre staff, we have a variety of applications, such as nagios, (hopefully) request tracker, a blog, wiki, fileshare etc etc all running of a single webserver that forms the "home" of our activities and documentation.
I'd like to reduce it to a single login to get on and move around freely. Though even as I explain it, it is going to make more sense with an SSO solution. I might take another look at webauth. It's one more thing to run, but may be simpler in total.
