Chad La Joie commented on IDP-113:
----------------------------------

{quote}Is the existing functionality sufficient? It's not well documented, so I should remedy that first.{quote}

Yes, I think so.

{quote}I'll probably need some more specific requirements here. I'm only aware of (2) implementations; AD and OpenLDAP's ppolicy. Do you want solutions for both of those or something else?{quote}

Those two are fine for now.  Down the road if some one provides information about the other directories then we can deal with it then.

> Create an action that validates the username/password, given via the UsernamePasswordSubcontext on the authn request context, against an LDAP directory.  If the credentials properly validate then set a UsernamePrincipal as the authenticated principal of the authn request context.
> Additional notes:
>  * support enumerating multiple LDAP directories and failing over connections if some are down
>  * connections used to search for the user DN should have the option of being pooled
>  * ability to catch locked/disabled accounts and expired passwords
