LDAP workaround?

[gus <gu...@gmx.net>]

Hi!

I'd like to connect the Jetspeed portal with my Active Directory using LDAP. I
know LDAP authentication is not integrated in Jetspeed/Turbine so I think of the
following workaround:

I'd like to create dummy users (UserA, UserB, ...) in Jetspeed. According to the
users in Jetspeed I create groups in Active Directory (GroupA, GroupB, ...)
where I put my AD users in.
The I write my own ("Action" class derived) "LoginUser" class and implement it
like that:
  
  public void doPerform( RunData data ) throws Exception 
  {
    [...]
    if (myLDAP.authenticate(username, password)) {
       switch (myLDAP.getJetspeedGroup()) {
       'GroupA': 
          runData.getParameters ().setString ( "username", "UserA" );
          break;
       'GroupB': 
          runData.getParameters ().setString ( "username", "UserB" );
          break;
       [...]
       }
       runData.getParameters ().setString ( "password", "secret" );
       [...]
    }

    ActionLoader.getInstance ().exec ( runData, "JLoginUser" );
    [...]
  }

Before I start implementing this I'd like to know if this could work that way?

Or is it better to create the appropriate user with the first login in
jetspeed/turbine? 
It's for an intranet so I don't need that user register themselves.

Has anybody done something like that before?
