I think OfBiz can be configured to authenticate against an LDAP directory. That 
might be a better option. Can someone confirm OfBiz LDAP integration?

Subject: Re: using ofbiz as an authentication store for a webapp? 

you will probably have to look at using SOAP to connect. 
but if you going to use ofbiz for authentication there is a lot of 
traffic for each request made. At least that is my understanding. 

I think if is a lot of overhead for just authenticating. 
But other may give you a different perspective.
