If you mean, you'd like to see support those auth methods, support is
already available for them. The LDAP one will sync groups from LDAP, and
it is possible to have the wiki create LDAP accounts (if you *really*
want that). There are also quite a few access control extensions around,
that work on categories, and even per page; the regular saying goes that
the access control plugins can't be trusted regarding read rights...

If you only wanted the UI, then PHPldapAdmin, or some other LDAP admin
gui would solve at least part of your problem.
