The order in which the LoginModules are evaluated depends on the  
order they are configured in jaas.properties.  If you put the  
org.hypercontent.security.UserFileLoginModule first and indicate it  
is sufficient, it will be evaluated first, and if it is successful  
the LDAP module won't be called.

I would definitely read through the hypercontent.log, and pay special  
attention to the lines shortly after "HyperContent completed startup"  
to look out for possible configuration errors that may occur even  
before you hit the server in the browser.  If you're stumped, feel  
free to pass your log file along and I'll have a look.
