My dream is to come up with a sustainable solution for sharing a user database between Lyceum, Drupal, and MediaWiki. What are folks using these days? LDAP? XMLRPC? Hacky custom backend scripts?
I would advice you to go for some form of a pluggable or modular authentication system. This would not store all the details, but would at least allow people to develop additional authentication "components". What Drupal has, is a hook (PHP function), that gets called when people try to authenticate (not all details are worked out as good, but its concept is great). In the mean time you might want to look at some of Drupals authentication modules: http://drupal.org/project/Modules/category/74 If you are intersted in Drupal authentication, you might find some info here: http://drupal.org/node/32178 On a more personal note (because I'm the developer :) ) you might want to look at http://drupal.org/node/50946 SQL authentication: A Drupal module that allows you to authenticate against any SQL table with user information.
