Hi, Kambiz. Interesting.
Regarding Users and Roles current implementation, perhaps we could refactor it using interfaces, giving: - a default implementation (the current JDO-based one that persists to the database). - a new one based on the DN LDAP repository support, extending that interface, that you could implement [1]. Could this approach help? @Dan perhaps some alternative/complementary approach based on mixins contributing also to domain entities “marked” with those Interfaces? The Shiro realm would use LDAP attributes to handle authentication/authorization.
