We can change the SecurityService class to be used to LDAPSecurityService
and the User and UserManager classes to LDAPUser and LDAPUserManager in
org.apache.turbine.services.security.ldap package. This is supposed to be
just a property file change. But, what seems simple in jetspeed1.3 seems to
be spread over a lot of files in jetspeed1.4 . And also, as you have said,
there is this TurbineAuthentication in jetspeed itself, instead of using
classes directly from Turbine.
Has anybody tried to use LDAP authentication in jetspeed1.4 by just
changing the property files to point to an LDAPSecurityService

Please respond

Users List"
I am currently customizing
jetspeed/services/security/turbine/TurbineAuthentication.java
to send a SOAP message to a web service that interfaces with LDAP. Our
SOAP request contains username and password, and the SOAP response
returns a Success/Failure status code and some custom user information.
Using the SOAP web service allows us to keep our authentication
adaptable and independent of the portal and LDAP vendors. Has anyone
else attempted to authenticate via a SOAP web service?
From what I understand from the Jetspeed security documentation, you do
not need to use the TurbineAuthentication. However, Turbine currently
fits well with Jetspeed, and this is why I am modifying
TurbineAuthentication.java as a start. I am interested in any other
Authentication implementations that the Jetspeed community feels will
replace Turbine.
