Thanks for your proposition.
Unfortunately I haven't expressed myself good enough:

I would prefer, not to authenticate against the operating system. Actually, the
users I have, should only be part of my web application and not of the
operating system. They also have only access to parts of my web application and
not to the rest of the operating system.
When a surfer creates a login for himself, I don't want him to be able to log
into the computer where my application runs by SSH, too.
So authorization, authentication and persistence of those user informations have
to be handled entirely by my own program or better by such a library.
Thanks
Phil
