> this feature, would enable Ofbiz users to authenticate their users using an 
> LDAP. I developed that change in response to a customer request who wanted 
> his employees to use the same passwords they use when openning a windows 
> session.
> the solution was to recreate the same usernames in the Party manager with an 
> unused password. and redirect the authentication to the LDAP when needed. The 
> choice is made in the security.properties file. all parameters needed to 
> connect to the LDAP are there also.
> After authentication all authorizations are taken out from the Party manager. 
>  This would give the same feature used by SharePoint, which is called cross 
> privileges
> the change is minor as you would see, but very helpfull for people needing 
> the same feature.
