Depending on what you wanted when you say "authentication" it wouldn't
be too hard.  My first thought is if you put IIS in front of fossil and
have IIS do the authentication (or apache, or any ldap enabled auth web
server) then you can be done fairly quick.

However, if what you really mean is "I don't have to put all of the
companies users and their access rights into fossil, so when they log in
fossil identifies them completely from LDAP." then it'll be much more
difficult.

My first thought on solving the second request is:  Use Python.  You
could basically have a small python script pull down LDAP users and put
them into the fossil database.  Probably would need a bit of mojo on the
authentication side, but that would at least get started filling in who
is in fossil's world.

Again, I'd say a few macros in MS word are probably better than a
solution inside fossil itself.

Out of curiosity, why do you need this exactly?  Is there a paritcular
testing process or corporate requirement that has people making project
documentation in word?
