jetspeed authentication using LDAP

[La...@itsprojects.com]

Hi,
I am a new user to jetspeed. Has anyone replaced the database based user
authentication with LDAP based authentication? If so, can you please throw
some light on it?

Regards,
Lavanya

I am currently customizing 
jetspeed/services/security/turbine/TurbineAuthentication.java
to send a SOAP message to a web service that interfaces with LDAP. Our 
SOAP request contains username and password, and the SOAP response 
returns a Success/Failure status code and some custom user information.
Using the SOAP web service allows us to keep our authentication 
adaptable and independent of the portal and LDAP vendors. Has anyone 
else attempted to authenticate via a SOAP web service?

 From what I understand from the Jetspeed security documentation, you do 
not need to use the TurbineAuthentication. However, Turbine currently 
fits well with Jetspeed, and this is why I am modifying 
TurbineAuthentication.java as a start. I am interested in any other 
Authentication implementations that the Jetspeed community feels will 
replace Turbine.
