One possibility would be writing an LDAP server backend that is capable of using Koha's own user authentication routines. Here's a proof-of-concept based on Net::LDAP::Server that permits authentication by bind only: https://gist.github.com/gmcharlt/7a6f1e8fdd6b1f4a2e26 I should emphasize that this is *just* a proof of concept and is incomplete in all kinds of respects (and if it calls up your patrons at night to offer great deals on interstellar real estate, I disavow all knowledge of its actions) -- but hopefully it gives you the idea. I suggest also querying the Koha general and development mailing lists [1] to look for folks who may be using their Koha databases as authentication providers.
