On the scenario you are describing, using a CallBack to handle the
authentication, you could easily use an LDAP API [1] to perform the
authentication/authorization. As for LTPAToken, if you are handling
things yourself, you will need to find specific WebSphere APIs to
handle that.

Does that help ?
