Many things are possible, with varying amounts of effort.  I don't know of 
anyone who has done so, and it would probably require substantial 
engineering time to do so.  There might be a situation in which it makes 
sense to expend that effort, but it seems more likely that a preexisting 
backend such as LDAP is a more appriate use of resources.
