you mean by not implementing the login protocol.
Ahh sorry,
the browser might send a WWW-Authenticate header ... that would be
the http basic auth "protocol" for which there is an
AuthenticationHandler.
A web form might POST request properties "username" and "password"
acording to a unofficial "form login protocol" handled by a
FormAuthenticationHandler.
but both of these will create SimpleCredentials which can be
authenticated using a LdapLoginModule against an LDAP.
(did I make sense that time :))
