whats your appserver?? Iam working on a project using websphere app server and it has admin configurations wherein you can set websphere to authenticate using different authentication mechanisms[ex:Basic,Form,client-cert etc] aganist different user information repository[Ex:windows/solaris user registry,Any directory server using LDAP]..Everything is just configuration..No coding is necessary... So see what your container provides before building on custom solutions..
