The fact is the following :
- What you 'r trying to do is known as SSO (link to wikipedia ->)
- Central user registration can be attained by seting up an LDAP dir
(which could be already there if MSAD is around ;)
- However, since the auth process is specific to every service, the login
part is still duplicated, and it is very difficult to have a shared login
unless you are delegating such task to a common service (e.g. CoSign).
However there other (commercial | free) SSO products out there.
- If you'r trying to setup an SSO then, since there are many services,
there's always an extra-overhead. IMHO (very particular & personal
opinion ;) duplicate data is a mess, and it gets worst with time & more
services.
- Yes, you'r righ, CoSign is not as simple as some might expect. I
understand what you'r saying, :-/ but ...
- Reinvent the wheel ? Ufff ...

Maybe, but you could set up a local OpenId provider (for your
enterprise or whatever) and use white_list & black_list options under
[openid] section in order to reject the undesired providers and allow
only the one(s) you want.

For user registration with LDAP, once somebody is registered, all the
services should write user data to the *same* LDAP dir, and therefore
everybody is always up to date. Permissions could be managed using
LDAP groups & the appropriate Trac plugins.
For user login, as I said before it is very, very difficult unless you
have a central service and delegate the login part to it.
But anyway, if you find out another way then I'd like to know ;)
