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?
