There's single login that should work for everything without asking the
password again. There's no support for kerberos login from the desktop,
though if I've understood correctly. We are using CAS with kerberos for
some web apps and something like that would probably make it possible to
get the desktop login to work through the browser. Now you have to enter
your login and password to login.

You can register a test account here:

(it asks for display name, email, username, password, password
confirmation)

It's all in finnish, though, so it may be a bit confusing..

Zimbra does have some kind of web based shared folders functionality,
but I have really limited experience with it. Here's more information
about it:
