Accumulo 1.4 handles all of it's security internally, so you can't rely on an external service for managing the user space. However, you can have a web service which handles passing accumulo credentials down into the system so you don't have to worry about the web service doing anything too elaborate.
Accumulo 1.5 is slated to have a pluggable security structure, which will support a variety of SSO mechanisms.
