web-based authentication software

Most people use either database or LDAP for platform-independent central
 authentication.  If you do that, you can use any number of front ends
and back ends to them.

If the auth list is pretty static, you can always use basic or digest
authentication, using a SMB or NFS directory to hold the auth config file.


Sorry if this is too buzzwordy.  Feel free to ask for clarification.
