A better solution could be to add support for external authenticated users using the REMOTE_USER header

That would give the freedom to choose any authentication method you like as long as your web server supports it.

if you e.g. want to authenticate users against and Active Directory, I find it much easier to just join the Linux machine to Active Directory using SSSD and then just configure my web servers to authenticate users via PAM, rather than configure LDAP bindings in every single application directly.
