I've created a centralized role-based J2EE security service called JoshuaBranch AS and
plan to publish a commercial version (free for non-profits) this month at
JoshuaBranch.com (the site will be up within a few weeks).
LDAP authentication is planned for one of the upcoming versions. LDAP authentication
is a bit complicated, but it will be simplifid for the Security Administrator (SA).
The applications using the security service will be oblivious to how the users are
authenitcated, so users of the current version wil not need to change a single line of
code to utilized LDAP. The SA will define how users are authenticated via a security
administration web front-end to the centralized service, and configure LDAP connection
parameters, meaning that applications using the current version will not need to
change any code to use it, although a redeploy could be required to include up-to-date
client jars.
Currently, any J2EE application can use the centralized security service, including
JBoss and WebSphere, even though it runs in JBoss. In other words, you can
administrate security for all of your J2EE applications via a single security
administration web console even if the applications are running on disparate J2EE
vendor servers and multiple server instances. This is ideal for enterprises migrating
over to JBoss, while continuing to use WebSphere or WebLogic.
If you would like to be informed on the roll out of JoshuaBranch AS, send an mail to
joshuabranch-as-news at joshuabranch.com requesting to be put on the news list.
