If you use standard XWiki authentication I can see several possibilities:
1) HTTP authenticator: many applications provide a HTTP authenticator,
best is probably to setup a page that can be viewed only by
authenticated user and make the other application HTTP authenticator
use that page as target
2) database authenticator: many applications provide configurable
database authenticator. This one is not very easy as you have to know
well the XWiki model (you are not going to find a user table with the
login and the password stored there...)
3) custom authenticator: use either 1) or 2) in your own authenticator
designed for the other application

  Hello,
 i wonder if i could use the login realm of xwiki for other applications
 to enable single sign on mechanisms with xwiki as storage for the users.
 Thank you
 Andreas
