Hi Matteo,

I was pointing to the LDAP module only to show you a module that implements 
the required interfaces toward a data source for users and groups :)

If you need to use a clustered GeoServer, you should use a standalone 
GeoFence; in this way all the GeoServer instances will share the same 
rulesets.

The embedded GeoFence engine uses an internal DB to store the rules, and at 
the moment there isn't a mechanism to keep in synch the various GeoFence DBs 
for the different instances in the cluster.

   Cheers,
   Emanuele
