There are lots of authentication solutions around.

Check SXIP and OpenID. They both have Drupal modules.

(Boris? Are you lurking out there?)

And we do have an XMLRPC-based authentication scheme, and I do believe there is an LDAP module as well. There is a lot of interest in single-signon and other shared authentication schemes for Drupal. I believe Bèr Kessels also wrote a module which allow Drupal to simply use another database/table for authentication, as well.
