The documentation for API:Login http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Login is not elaborate enough and I find it confusing. I don't know whether I am the only one. This is the statement in particular that I am finding difficult to comprehend.
CentralAuth SUL Login... Now you have to parse the cookie by looking for the centralauth_ cookies and adding additional entries for all other wikis that centralauth covers in your setup.
You can use all the cookies centralauth_User, centralauth_Token, centralauth_Session to all the WMF domains. They will automatically log you in and provide the <lang>wiki_session, <lang>wikiUserID (which you then need to treat the normal way).
Alternatively, you can also log into the other domains the normal way and not make cehtralauth_* cookies "global".
