In my opionion, there is a serious gap in this area. It's either NIS, simple, easy to setup yet insecure, or LDAP/FreeIPA/RH Id management server at a complexity at least one order of magnitude beyond NIS.

There's also the option of using AD if such infrastructure exists. RH ID management has been completely dismissed by colleagues who know both it and AD, and favour the latter.
