Sadly this is not possible for us. We have limited RAM, CPU and flash. 
We also do not want to introduce yet another server/daemon that holds a
state which may become unsynchronized. Yet another daemon for systemd to 
handle. This is why we use the PSK-file of hostapd today. It is simple 
and uses small amount of resources. We don't have a problem with the 
PSK-file, only the control interface socket to get which stations was
authenticated.
