Hi all, I'm setting up an old server to became the core server of our local lug and I'm on trouble choosing an easy yet powerful method for authentication. I think it would be nice to have a single method for authenticating local accounts, email, joomla and so on, and to be able to add another server and use the same method in the future. I am looking now at openldap but I start thinking it's too complex for the task of single sign on... or at least I am missing an easy graphical tool to setup just users and passwords (ldapbrowser and directory_assistant aren't working, and I don't have too much time to spend on learning command-line tools).

Does anyone have a suggestion for an easy Single Sign On server?

p.s. Of course all the above under CentOS 5 ;)
