Centralised user or password management

Just deployed a webdev server to Ubuntu 22.04 and was hoping the admin users could be centralised user accounts via normal pam auth with sssd. Sadly this isn't working out of the box. I'm not sure how 'WDAdminWeb' authenticates a user, but only local authentication works, and by that I mean an account where the password is locally stored in /etc/shadow.

Has anyone asked this question before? windev appears to support Windows AD authentication, so why doesn't webdev on Linux support pam+sssd authentication by default?

The devs requested that HFSQL be deployed on a different server, and to be frank I'm not even sure if that has any bearing on the authentication of admin/dev users at all.

I guess security isn't much of a consideration then?

WebDev on Linux might not support PAM+SSSD authentication out of the box due to its specific design and compatibility considerations. While Windows AD authentication is supported on Windows platforms, Linux deployments might require manual configuration to integrate PAM+SSSD.
