combining multiple logins for DIY CMS?

Hiya -
so i'm in the process of patching together a makeshift mostly PHP/mySQL driven CMS from mulitple sources: includes individual sections like address book, Video Feed, wordpress, etc.

each of these 'modules' has its own login page with password/user (which are all set to the same thing a the moment)
I'm looking for the best way to combine all these together into one backend login page so the superuser/client doesn't have to login over and over again to make a change to every section.
What's the best way to go about this? Can I simply use .htaccess to control the directory where let's say materlogin.php is kept? and then just send password/login information through each link (let's say - -link to wordress admin page) or is it more complicated?

any insight or guidance welcome!
v best
Maxx

I would say that once they login you immediately pass the login information off to all the different things they should have access to -- in effect logging them into everything at once. That was as they pass from place to place they're already logged in and you won't have to worry about sending off their login/password again each time.
