Yes pgina is one of the options.
Someone would have to take it and integrate with MIT Kerberos for 
Windows if it is not already doing so.
But I suspect that it would be more a project in itself that would 
leverage code from MIT and may be pgina to integrate different parts.
The biggest part figuring out the domain affiliation. I mean the use 
cases like this:
a) The system is domainless but user authentictaes with user name and 
password against IPA
b) The system is domainless but user authentictaes with user name and 
OTP against IPA
c) The system is in an AD domain trusted by IdM domain but user 
authenticates with user name and password against IPA because he is in 
IdM domain.
d) The system is in an AD domain trusted by IdM domain but user 
authenticates with user name and password against IPA because he is in 
IdM domain.

More to research. We can help with guidance if someone wants to run with it.

Thanks
Dmitri
