We have a campus-wide single sign-on thing-- it issues you a cookie, and
each page has a tag that checks back against the database to make sure that
cookie belongs to that IP address and hasn't expired.

Ours is kept under wraps, but I understand from Shawn Bayern that Yale has a
similar system and that theirs is open source.  Maybe check the Yale website
for info, or check with Shawn.  I had a link to it at one point but can't
find it now.
