Well, I'm afraid that I don't have the details, but I've heard mentioned
the ability to write customized authentication routines for Jetspeed. If
your users are already stored into LDAP, then Java's JNDI routines should
be able to query the LDAP server to get that information. Heck, you may
even be able to write an LDAP interface for the project and submit
it. That would be really cool.
