Problem in metaWeblog or Atom user authentication when integrated with LDAP

[Deepak Nayak <dn...@adobe.com>]

Hi,

I have Roller3.0 installation which is integrated with our LDAP user
directory.
I am able to log in to Roller webpage using LDAP credentials.

Now I have written blog client program using Dave's blog client library
which connects to Roller. In this case I am getting blog connection only
when I give password that is there in the Roller DB. I am not getting Roller
connection when I give LDAP password.

LDAP authentication is not tried when I connect to Roller through blog
client program.

If this is not possible with Roller3.0 then is it possible to make Roller to
go through ACEGI security layer when request is made from ATOM or META
WEBLOG API through blog client programs.

Thanks,
Deepak

It is possible, but it will definitely require code changes to Roller
in both the Atom and MetaWeblog API servlets.
