If you're just looking to _authenticate_ and not authorize, you might want
to look at JAAS and the sun provided Kerberos module. I align many of my
apps against campus-wide directories and databases. To do this, I basically
pass login tokens given to a WOApp (with filtering) to a JAAS login callback
function for authenticating against Kerberos, both against a Mac OS X system
and other Kerberos KDCs.
Since I typically use JAAS/Kerberos for only for authentication, I use
JNDI/LDAP for everything else.
I can give you more examples off or online this seems like something useful.
