Well... yeah, but no one on their sane mind would build the backend of a mobile app or of a web app in COBOL.

Of course you can have all your COBOL and your mainframes down below rolling and churning like it's 1975, but the authentication of an app is layers up above in a totally distinct system. Or this or you're crazy.
