Agreed, even flat text files will work. Personally, I've always preferred LDAP, as many other applications and devices we have deployed can make use of the same LDAP backend for centralized authentication (e.g. basic web applications such as Cacti and Dokuwiki as well as network devices from various vendors such as our Barracuda). There are plenty of applications that also support using SQL as a datastore, but they may require that you adhere to a specific schema.
LDAP, in my opinion, gives me the greatest flexibility. As always, YMMV, "best tool for the job", etc. -- Jeremy L.
