[Jetty-support] Using apache authentication

[Insitu <ab...@oq...>]

Hello,
I would like to use jetty behind apache2 and centralize authentication
information on the apache side. The idea would be then to just
configure user/roles pairs for each web app but not authentication
mechanism. This means I could use any authentication scheme supported
by  Apache, pass along REMOTE_USER according to  this scheme and have
a limited form of SSO.

Is this possible with Jetty ? 

Thanks a lot,
