If your plan is to connect other services then I'd suggest using LDAP for central authentication. It can easily be connected to any API without much "glue". And most common open source services already support it as auth backend. It's also easier to audit than any custom service you might concoct on your own because auditors already have experience with it through Active Directory.

LDAP is really overlooked by many and I think people are surprised by the amount of software that offers LDAP support.

i've stopped being surprised a few years ago that it's usually in the 'call us' price tier :)
