Not directly... it's not even possible in DBIC to have relationships
between different databases, which is essentially what you're talking
about doing.
You can accomplish the same thing client-side if you write your own user
store module(s), which is not fundamentally difficult. I have done a
similar thing for our Cat application; we authenticate via Unix accounts
(/etc/passwd), or DBIC, or LDAP or (insert other yet-to-exist
authentication methods). The user roles are all defined in the database.
The user store documentation available on CPAN describes how to write
modules such that they will interface with Catalyst properly, and it's
not very difficult. I did my first one in half a day, having
practically zero experience with catalyst internals at the time. (I
have since rewritten it a time or two, and each iteration is better and
cleaner, as you would expect).

Hi,
is it possible to use ldap to authenticate and dbic (a database) to handle the
user role relation ? So that it works like it resides all in one storage
backend.
If yes how do I configure that in the $application.conf ?
