You can use an external authentication method that is shared between  
sites, but single-sign-on is more a part of the PmWiki core where the  
sessions authenticate you.

By this, I mean you can use a single MySQL database to manage the  
users for a group of wikis or fields.

I have not set up MySQL (AuthUserDbase or XesAuthUserDbase) to handle  
groups (yet?).  I will be working on updating it so that they're  
combined in one recipe and databases are handled with ADOdb soon.

This would work if you use any external database -- or  
the .htpassword methods if all the wikis are on the same server.

The nice part is one only needs to sign up/validate once.  One would  
have to log in at each wiki, probably.
