    jGuard provide some convenient LoginModules, but not yet a loginModule dedicated to LDAP authentication (it is planned for the next release). So, the solution is to use a LoginModule provided by sun directly with the Java Runtime Environment(JRE). to do it, you have only to declare in the 'loginmodules' field this one: com.sun.security.auth.module.JndiLoginModule note that this loginmodule connect to LDAP through the great abstraction layer called JNDI. more details can be reached directly at the corresponding page It exists others LoginModule implementations which do the same stuff. the only requirement is only to implements the LoginModule interface.
