You should go and check the archives. I've been talking about LDAP
authentication for a few months now, and wrote code to do it, too.
There has been discussion about making the authentication and database code
abstacted and replaceable, and agreement that it will be a goal for the next
major release. Stay on list, there'll be lots of good stuff about this once
1.0 is stable and out the door.
