I will look at additionalAuthenticationChecks, somehow i missed that.
What I did on Friday was create a new Provider that takes multiple Providers and requires that all "nested" providers authenticate correctly.
This nested provider solution or additionalAuthenticationChecks can solve my current requirement. However the nested provider solution can add extra complexity to the app context, but does allows for nice flexibility to handle different authentication scenarios.
I have included a slice of the app context for the nested provider test to give you an idea of the change.
What's your thought? Is this a valid a solution? Do you think there will be any problems if i stay with this approach.
Thanks again,
Tyler

Could you subclass LdapAuthenticationProvider and override
additionalAuthenticationChecks?
For the benefit of the archives, "chaining" usually means trying one
AuthenticationProvider and then another if the first fails to
authenticate. ProviderManager can do this out-of-the-box. What Tyler is
trying to do involves a single AuthenticationProvider requiring
information stored in two different places (LDAP and RDBMS), so it needs
a subclass.
