[Opensource] User authentication

[Bjorn Granvik]

Hi,

We at Jayway have a running LDAP-based solution using:
	Expresso 4.02/Tomcat 4.0,
	QcSlapd (ldap server) and
	LDAP Browser/Editor (http://www.iit.edu/~gawojar/ldap/).

I've just offered our code to Sandra Cann (not knowing where to ask really)
in the hope that it might be a step towards an LDAP-aware Expresso. Our
solution probably isn't optimal, since we had to change some files more than
just to supply a UserLDAP. We currently have users and group information
stored in the LDAP server and a Tomcat/LDAP realm based login together with
the changes in the Expresso code.

This way we secure both java based files (i.e. expresso controlled code like
jsp-files) and other files like html, doc, pdf etc with a single sign on.

Again, there probably is a better solution waiting, but our code is running.

Cheers,
Bjorn Granvik
Jaway
