Yes.
However, the main issue for LDAP authentification will be how to 
configure it. (Entering data for servers, attribute-mapping ...)

Right now I introduced a system which configures the behaviour of the 
application in a mock-TypoScript-Object way.
I would be happy to have this tested, disputed and developed further

We have to separate the LDAP thing from the SSO (single-sign-on) thing. 
They have no inherent connection. Yet if we are to work on the 
authentification methods we should try to establish a good interface 
developers can use to pass on external authentification information in 
order to instantiate TYPO3 sessions.

This is indeed what is needed.

I would be happy to be in charge of this.

I will trigger a discussion of the solution we have been proposing now 
and try to get as much feedback as possible.
I will then get back to you in two or three weeks in order to get 
needed core changes clear.
I think a Beta Version for thorough testing in Kitzbühel would be a 
fair goal.

Regards

Daniel
