thanx raphael for your reply...
but could u please elaborate....i mean...in my case we have an LDAP server
for authenticating my intranet users....and my jetspeed users'
details(uid-pwd) are stored in the database....how do we enable these two to
talk ?
u had mentioned something about"password keyring" in thePSML...this sounds
like an exciting idea....can u please elaborate more on this ?
TIA
sumit
