This isn't currently possible, because authentication extensions can't pass messages back to the login form. I've been thinking about tackling this problem for a while, but other things have been higher priority. I'll put this onto my todo list. Of course, you don't necessarily need to deny login access; you could synchronize the groups, and only allow read and/or write access based upon groups. You can do this by taking all privileges away from "user" and assigning them to groups that you manage.
