consider and use RADIUS

freeradius is part of the CentOS distro

before you

yum install freeradius

i would check and research around the www and see if freeradius supports
"realms" if you want to be tricky and support other ISPs authentication with
your server

OR

just setup RADIUS to look at your password file

piece of cake huh?
