Offhand, due to setting up 'active directory' integrations, I'd say that yes, it should be possible to have a third party authentication framework which does not depend on traditional glibc/libc support. I can't seem to find, in an offhand and quick glance at search results, any library that I know of to accomplish this task. Doesn't mean it can't be or hasn't been done though. I know for a fact that plain text passwords are passable to authentication libraries since that's how AD integration works. Though there also seems to be some recent interest in implementing support in crypt() https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21421 https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21421
