LDAP Authentication

Actually Basic and Digest authentication types are supported, both file based. An additional module should extend the authentication to also provide the possibility to authenticate against an LDAP directory. A good example is Apache mod_authnz_ldap.

Authentication is currently done using the Http library. How about we create an extra repository so we can add non-Http authentication adapters to the set?
Then the existing authentication module (as well as the appserver servlet engine) could use it
