Suggestions on implemeting the Continuum User Authentication via LDAP

[Frank Zhao <Fr...@motricity.com>]

Since we need this feature pretty soon, I am planning to make a patch for the LDAP feature in Continuum. Any suggestions/hints on how to design/implement this feature will be highly appreciated. 

In addition, how long do you think it takes for the implementation? This would be very helpful for me to evaluate the work.

Thanks!

Frank

I would like to see that happen. Please file it as a feature request
and we will consider it for future versions.

With the actual code, you can't do it. Continuum code need a little refactoring for 
support other user management implementation

- create a user management api project
- create a user management store project that use only database for 
authentication/add/delete/search user
- create a user management ldap project with ldap access and database access

Which informations do you want to use from ldap? only user/password?
