Is it possible to make Roller authenticate users via LDAP for the username and password information?
But continue to keep the authorization information local to the MySQL DB? (Authorization = information about what resources the user is allowed to access; e.g. which blogs, what permission, or site administration, etc.) Just wondering because if it's possible to make Roller work with other authenticators, then that might be a good way of 'selling' Roller use at work. Work is big enough that we rely on automated tools to purge LDAP upon employee departure to instantly block access for dozens of applications that keys off LDAP for authentication. Too big to do all that by hand. :) I'm guessing I should be able to do that if I can define my own class for authenticator.classname and extend org.roller.presentation.DefaultAuthenticator or is there more to it? -Dan
