gollark: I did actually run LDAP (well, openLDAP slapd) for a bit for single sign-on purposes, but dropped it because the only web-based software for managing it was written in PHP, and it was old and weirdly designed.
gollark: Yes, LDAP is pretty much the standard for user database things.
gollark: That's probably fine maybe. You should try to have a reset option if it makes sense.
