Our code will create the user in the jetspeed database (typicaly hsqldb)

It logs into the AD as a user with regular privs.
Then it takes the username of the person logging into the portal and looks up that 
user's DN.
It then attempts to login to (bind) AD with that user's DN and password. If that 
succeeds then the user's credentials were correct, otherwise its fails over the next 
server in the list (can be n number of servers).
