Hi
I will try to explain how to run jetspeed with ldap security backend. First of all its 
not so easy. But its worked for me :)

LDAP implementation contain two separate module.First one is LDAP backend which is 
used to read and write data stored on ldap server. This module can be used by other 
ldap related modules. LDAP backend module require some ldap connection properties 
located at resources file. Also you can use ldap backend with turbine security without 
any problem (You are still using original security implemantation) Second is new 
security interfaces implemantation using ldap backend. Second module require first 
module. Also you had to change some properties to disable turbine security and to 
enable LDAP and you must have some value populated at ldap db such as guest user 
values or groups properties. Initial values can be found at ldiff file. But Before 
inserting those values you need some schema changes. (look at schema file whish is for 
Openldap only, for other ldap servers it  may be adapted). Some ldap structure can be 
configured using resource file. So may be its not enough but I am on vacation at US 
now. During this holiday here is all can I do.
LDAP implemantation is an early try. not for production but if we can generate some 
synergy it will be enough robust in a short time. Thanks for try and feedbacks
