Hi,

I've been working on an updated LDAP authentication provider which is intended to be included in 1.0 RC2. It should be fully extensible - for authentication, searching for users and also for populating roles. At the moment I've got support for direct authentication and password comparison (either locally by retrieving the password or by performing a remote "compare" operation.

I hope to have something checked in soon 'cos I'd like to get some decent feedback and comments to get things as stable as possible before the 1.0 release. A major problem is testing, though. My tests run fine so far against an OpenLDAP setup but I've run into what appears to be a bug in apache-ds which causes the password comparison to fail:

http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRLDAP-77

Hopefully it will be fixed soon and a version of apacheds will be available that we can include in the build and successfully run against.

Luke.
