Not to my knowledge.
I use OpenLDAP for my users and groups and this has worked perfectly ever

I am only familiar with CIFS/SMB and NFS. Not sure if any other shared
filesystems handle this. A minimum requirement would be that you need to login
to the fileserver using a username and password.

I found NFS to be stable for long term (months) connections. When working from
mobile machines (Laptops), I use SMB/CIFS to access the same files.
