It would be awesome if we could authenticate as easily as this
against:
LDAP ( OpenLDAP as well as AD): This would be the Enterprise
requirement #1
Auth against an external MySQL / PG db (does this already exist?)
Auth against /etc/passwd (is this a bad idea) or maybe, Apache
htpasswd
Auth with Certificates. (PKI)
I used to write some Java portlets for Gridsphere (http://
www.gridsphere.org) some of these work out of the box there (LDAP etc)
For ideas on addons, please see the amazing Drupal (http://
www.drupal.org) : There are literally hundreds of modules built by the
community.
