Hi Rajiv, we do not have a formal document to send you, at the moment we 
are producing documentation regarding installation and platform 
architecture.

But we have a very pressing need: LogicalDOC must be able to interface 
with external LDAP and Active Directory.

Our primary goal is to get users and groups from LDAP and Active 
Directory for authentication.
In your opinion is it possible to use ACEGI? And if not is there a Java 
library that can be integrated into LogicalDOC?

In LogicalDOC security goes as follows:

    * Each User can be member of Groups
    * Permissions can be assigned to Groups in regards of a Menu
    * The Menu is the central security concept: folders are a particular
      type of menu


So these are the tasks for you(if you want):

   1. Take a look on how security is implemented in LogicalDOC
   2. Make a research to find the right tools to be used for
      LDAP/ActiveDirectory and tell us your results
   3. Exchange with us your idea of integration into LogicalDOC of an
      external authentication mechanism
   4. Implement the solution int the core module


We wish to have the integration with an external authentication system 
ready for the end of november.

We can exchange ideas by e-mail, using the developer's list or using the 
wiki.

Let's go Rajiv, we count on you!
