Using LDAP and database for authentication

[sunraider]

Hi,

I am trying to use Acegi in my current project, I have a requirement of exposing the applicaton to external as well as internal users. The project proposes to use LDAP for internal users and Database for external. Has someone been through the same situation. How can I use Acegi to handle this situation?

I have already seen some posts on this but the links refered in the reply wont work anymore.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.. Thanks in advance.

hi, I have a similar situation; two sets of users (one being admins, the other being end users)
acegi handles this perfectly

example:

<bean id="authenticationManager" class="net.sf.acegisecurity.providers.ProviderManager">
		<property name="providers">
			<list>
				<ref bean="firstAuthenticationProvider"/>
				<ref bean="secondAuthenticationProvider"/>
			</list>
		</property>
	</bean>

if you user ProviderManager as the authenticationManager, it will consult each provider in order looking for appropriate user
