These are really good preconditions to use LDAP ;-)

There is a Linux LDAP HowTo, called "LDAP-HOWTO.html".
It explains, how you set up LDAP on Linux, and what auxiliary
programs are available. There is also a program that can fill
an LDAP directory.

There is the LDAP specification, an RFC. Not sure, whether you
will be happy with it.
Google may give you something more handy. Search for
"LDAP introduction", or "LDAP tutorial".

There is "python-ldap", a Python wrapper around the Open-LDAP
Client library.

There is the Zope product "LDAPUserFolder".


Sure, there are myriads of other resources....
