Hi,

i have added an LDAP security plugin for xmlBlaster.
(CVS main branch only).

If you want to try it, please follow

  xmlBlaster/src/java/org/xmlBlaster/authentication/plugins/ldap/README

It is quite simple.

The plugin was developed in only 4 hours,
proofing a good security plugin architecture
(Thanks to Wolfgang Kleinertz).

The plugin does delegate authentication to
a running LDAP server.
I have used openldap, and the setup and
filling with demo data is described in

   xmlBlaster/demo/ldap/README.


Authorization using LDAP is not implemented,
but a democode how to
extend the plugin is in the
above (first) README.

Please remove your old xmlBlaster.properties,
you can use the new xmlBlaster.properties.template
as a base.

enjoy,

Marcel
