There are other ways too. You can also put Manila behind an Apache proxy on 
any platform.  Here's an example:

This isn't built-in as best I recall, but wouldn't be hard to do for a 
beginning Frontier programmer - the users table is a fairly simple 
structure.  Actually, it's not a bad idea for a plugin!  There are other 
authentication methods too.  I've written an LDAP tool, for example -

You can just remove the link from the membership templates.
