See the AuthPlugin interface.
This could use further expansion for eg automatic
logging in; look for
the folks working on LDAP authentication.

Fast replay, nice. I see the interface, looks like that's what I need,
but I'll still need to put it to the test.
Let me ask you this; does this interface separate authentication and
authorization? Kind of hard to tell looking at the class source code.
I see info about Authentication, but nothing mentions authorization
and I can see if a person's using an LDAP interface why they would
want to put user authorization into LDAP (perfect place for it. That's
what LDAP was built for).
