Login once and get to all hosts... sure. Let's say you have a Windows domain, you login to the Windows Domain from your Windows client, it loads your SSH key off a secure area only you have access to and then you can PuTTY into the Linux hosts without typing a password... that's just one solution.

Single source of auth (a step down from SSO above) is possible as well... that is, you have to use your Windows username and password to log into the clients/servers regardless of whether they are Linux or Windows. Samba 3 supports this using winbind, but there are LDAP and AD ways to do this as well. But winbind is your friend IMHO.

Ah... finally with regards to a web interface for manipulating Windows AD... this is harder than it seems. LDAP is easy to manipulate, but passwords (which isn't LDAP) is a bit more difficult. Most people on a Windows network use Exchange for their email, so they just use OWA which allows you to change your password. With that said, I don't use Exchange here... it's an issue on our plate currently.
