Normally that is basically an IDM feature, yes, and I would note also that the way this works in most systems is in fact to prompt for the username first, then display the image on the page asking for the password, so it can be looked up from the IDM system. That seems to be the normal model in many modern web systems, but universities for whatever reason seem to really dislike the splitting of the prompts.
