Yes,
Jetspeed 1.4b4 supports it. I have it running against OpenLDAP.

LDAP user management
--------------------
This version of Jetspeed contains an LDAP-based user management service.
The module is experimental, and provided as is. It may lack features
present in other user management implementations.
The module is tested using OpenLDAP slapd 2.0.25 Release having the
following schemas included:
core.schema
cosine.schema
inetorgperson.schema
nis.schema
jetspeed.schema
All the other schemas are provided as a part of OpenLDAP, but
"jetspeed.schema" is provided as a part of Jetspeed Portal platform.
You must put the followind entries to the "slapd.conf" configuration
file in order to make Jetspeed work with LDAP:
database ldbm
suffix "ou=jetspeed,o=apache"
rootdn "cn=ldapadmin,ou=jetspeed,o=apache"
rootpw secret
... and the following entry to "ldap.conf" configuration file:
BASE ou=jetspeed,o=apache
Then copy the schema file "jetspeed.schema" to your LDAP server's
schema directory.
Start slapd, and import the LDIF file "jetspeed.ldif" using your
favourite LDAP tool. Jetspeed's LDIF file contains the same user,
group, role and permission definitions than the database version.
On the portal side you can enable LDAP user management by merging
the properties found from "LDAP-JetspeedSecurity.properties" file
to the "JetspeedSecurity.properties" file. Change the
"services.ldap.host" property to point to your LDAP server.
Then you should have everything up and running.
Please note that currently the only supported crypting algorithm
for LDAP user management is Unix crypt. Unix crypt is commonly
used to encrypt data in LDAP directories, but the JCE (Java
Cryptographic Extensions) package does not support it (as far as
I know). Therefore, JCE cannot be used directly if UnixCrypt
must be supported, so an extra cryptographic layer should be
introduced on top of these two to allow users to use both encryption
mechanisms. If someone has a good view of how this should be done,
please post a proposal on the jetspeed-devel mailing list.
If you don't get Jetspeed to work with LDAP but you are sure that
your LDAP tree is properly built, you can contact Sami Leino
([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and he will try to help you.
Change log: (since release 1.4b3, 2002/12/17)
---------------------------------------------
2003/01/29: Fixed bug 16511 (no-secure passwords not allowed with LDAP)
2003/01/20: Passes all unit-tests now.
2003/01/20: Performance improvements. Now fetches all users from LDAP with
one JNDI lookup when retrieving all users with getUsers() method.
Earlier version constructed every user with separate lookup.
2003/01/20: DirContexts are now properly closed. Should no longer leave
LDAP connections open.
2003/01/20: Error handling fixed. Now propagates Exceptions from LDAP
operations to the application level.
2003/01/20: Date format changed to "yyyyMMddmmHHss'Z'". Dates are now
stored using GMT timezone.
2003/01/20: SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.44 in "jetspeed.schema" changed
to 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26 when using caseIgnoreIA5Match.
2003/01/20: LDAP-safe uid generation mechanism introduced in
"BaseLDAPObject.java".
2003/01/20: Overall code cleanup performed (still a lot to do though).
Extraneous imports removed.
