That is a feature that Snakelets (the web server) doesn't provide yet.
You can only be authenticated on a per-webapp basis.
It is on my to-do list to add a centralized login thing.

Agreed, and I think it will be better integrated in a future version.
For now, you'll just have to login twice or hack your own centralized
logon thing ;-)
