Another option would be to write a PHP app that validates whatever requirements, and then updates the groups json file to allow the user in. Galene will automatically reload the json file when the PHP app updates it. Of course, you'll want to be really careful about atomically updating the file (I don't know PHP well enough to know whether this is possible, but my recollection from a couple decades ago is that it could use on-disk lock files).
