You could look at the Web Initial Sign-on (WebISO) site[1] from
Internet2.  There are links to several implementations.

Some are web apps that are under active development by others (like Metadot and Mantis), and some we have developed in-house in PHP or Perl.  Each is capable of using an LDAP server for authentication.  The web apps are running on 3 different Apache servers.  We're not running any J2EE or anything like that.  Just simple mod_perl and mod_php apps.

My boss would like to have things set up in such a way that when a user logs into one application and is authenticated against the common LDAP server, they won't need to retype their user_id and password for any of the other applications.
