I had done some preliminary research on this. This probably can be done in two ways, 1. There is turbine user itself in turbine schema. You want to maintain that schema for Jetspeed to function and maintain same user id in your ldap. If you do this, you can re-write one of the Jetspeed action classes that handles the user login functionality and override the exact same part that goes to Jetspeed database and checks for the validity of the username/password. 2. You can use, web-server's basic user authentication feature and put the username and password in the request object and then rather than going thro' Jetspeed's login screen invoke user specific screen. Over here you have to do some research to figure out how you can change the default login screen to something that will be specific to the logged-in user specific screen.
