thank you very mutch to all the answer I got.
This is what I need:

 on an intranet I want to have all users in a plone "user_source".
the authentication itself should be against a bunch of
ActiveDirectory-domains.
after the authemtication I just want the user to be authorized without
the need to re authenticate during business hours.

thanks  again
