It would be awesome if we could authenticate as easily as this against: LDAP ( OpenLDAP as well as AD): This would be the Enterprise requirement #1 Auth against an external MySQL / PG db (does this already exist?) Auth against /etc/passwd (is this a bad idea) or maybe, Apache htpasswd Auth with Certificates. (PKI)
I used to write some Java portlets for Gridsphere (http:// www.gridsphere.org) some of these work out of the box there (LDAP etc) For ideas on addons, please see the amazing Drupal (http:// www.drupal.org) : There are literally hundreds of modules built by the community.
