-------------------------------

Dear Edgar and Others interested in Jetspeed-2 and LDAP;

I have spent the last couple of days thinking about the needs of our team here 
at Dataline. I have reviewed David Le Strat's LDAP authentication classes as 
well. I can think of a few requirements issues that I would like to discuss 
with this community.

1) Do any of you need LDAP authorization as well? In addition to LDAP 
authentication, we need LDAP authorization. I see from looking at the 
Jetspeed-2 code that at least two interfaces exist which need LDAP 
implementations: GroupSecurityHandler and RoleSecurityHandler.  

2) Should this "first cut" of LDAP authentication include digest-based 
authentication, where the hashed password of a user is compared to the hash 
generated by the user when attempting to login? Doing so would save looking up 
the user, getting their DN, and then authenticating them. We really need that 
kind of performance here.

Please forgive me if I am not using JIRA correctly. This is my first use of it. 
 I will be gone until Tuesday and look forward to your comments.

Sincerely,
Mike Long
