I brought this up in IRC the other day (as ahoy_matey) and there seemed to be 
some interest. I'm interested in creating an internal install and want the 
users to register and login by authenticating the username/password against an 
LDAP server. 

Here's my idea for a lazy implementation based on a little poking around. 
Branch the user register function on some config value then do the check for a 
valid username against LDAP. The password work occurs in common_check_user, 
again branch to the appropriate password auth mechanism based on some config 
setting and do the work there. 

In the chat Evan talked about creating an abstract login class then various 
auth mechanisms could extent that class (the not lazy implementation), 

I am a newbie here, so any suggestions on how to proceed are appreciated. 

Ahoy, 
Jason
