Authentication and security is definitely a fact here.

We have a centralized authentication mechanism implemented for web applications. It defines the set of web pages a certain role can access, and what role(s) each user has.

We tried to remove the authentication logic away from individual (web) applications, but desktop applications do not benefit from this.
