Advanced authentication

[Olivier JAN]

I have achieved something like you describe with a Reverse Proxy SSO  
called Vulture NG (http://vulture.open-source.fr/wiki/). It works  
really well when you need to authenticate on differents nagios servers  
(like in a distributed setup).

Maybe this can help you
