yep! PAM is "Pluggable Authentication Module" which sits between applications and the auth method, so you can put anything there. LDAP and ActiveDirectory are fairly common ones

Used to be called GINA. In addition to sibling comments, see: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/secauthn/winl...
