问题
I am developing an application suite where users will need to connect to a server and depending on their account type they will be given some services. The server will run Linux. Can you please suggest me some user management API which I can use to develop the server program? By user management I mean user authentication and other related functionalities. I prefer to work in C++ or python, but any other language should not be a problem. Please note that this application suite is not web based.
Due to security issues, I do not want to give each user a separate account on the linux server.
Thanks, Akshey

http://web.mit.edu/Kerberos/ Not a drop in solution, but not quite sure what you're looking for.

You should check out PAM.
For security, you should only do this over SSL so that the user's password is not sent over the wire in cleartext.

Django is a python framework that provides all these services. It's very modular too, so you only have to use the components that what you want/need.
Its default admin tools provide authentication and authorization. Includes Users, Permissions, Groups, and message queueing.
If you don't want something as high level as a web front end. Twisted provides an authentication/credentials module. (http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/core/howto/cred.html)
