However, from the Ceph docs, I can't understand if this might be a correct use-case for Ceph since the default authentication method CephX doesn't have a standard username/password authentication protocol.
CephX is to authenticate the client process against the Ceph cluster, not the human user of the data. After mounting the CephFS you have user permissions including ACLs in the filesystem like in any other local filesystem. But: I would not recommend mounting CephFS to random user workstations as they can impersonate any User ID locally. The recommended way is to run a Samba cluster using CephFS as backend. Your users would then authenticate against Samba which would need to speak to your LDAP/Kerberos.
