Not true at all. The user management model is all defined by interfaces and
you can simply provide your own implementation of those interfaces that
connect to whatever back end you want.
Of course we provide default implementations of the interfaces that rely on
SQL and our table definitions, but if you would like to step up to the plate
and provide default implementations that connect to LDAP systems, that would
be great.
I suggest that you work with Rafal Krzewski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on
creating a LDAP Service for Turbine as well.
