I don't think anyone has come up with an agreed upon $whatever that a
majority of people like. There is LDAP but that isn't light. There are
kerberos but that isn't easy.
There's FreeIPA, which makes both of them easy. And we even ship is a
Fedora feature.
And honestly the cool kids only want web
logins these days as servers are a pain and why not just login into
Google/Facebook/Microsoft and let them deal with all that setup.
