hi!

here are some thoughts about a possible future authentication scheme:

* all passwords are stored as hashes only.

If you use LDAP, passwords are not stored in Lenya at all

which is what i'm ultimately aiming at: single sign-on via ldap with a samba domain controller. speaking of ldap: does anyone know how the current ldap implementation works? jwkaltz?

Well I didn't write it originally, but we are using it (and I added some stuff & docu). Lenya uses only standard Java code (JNDI) for LDAP access. The Lenya-specific class "LDAPUser.java" exists mainly to use the Java API in the right way, making it work for several backends

does it use an ldap auth mechanism, or is the password transferred from the ldap server in plaintext and the lenya servlet does the authentication?

That depends on the auth scheme, which you specify in ldap.properties

nice :-D
that means i can use native ldap authentication, which has all those challenge/response niceties. whoooohoooo!
