When a user logs in to my (doku)wiki, then comes back a couple of days later, should he still be logged in?
If he ticked the "remember me" box, yes.

Assuming the answer is yes, does dokuwiki verify that he's logged in based on a cookie?
yes

If so, would it be possible to set that cookie from another page on my site?
yes, as long as it is the same domain.

In addition to dokuwiki, our site has a forum, an embedded blog and a group calendar app that each require their own login. I'm exploring the possibility of a centralized login page that sets each of the various app cookies once login is authenticated.
