Description
Authentication system needs to be more modular, so other ways to authenticate can be used, p.e.:
- LDAP
- Active Directory
- PAM?
And possible a combination, like "use LDAP first, if it fails try local accounts"...

As of rev.[2096], the authentication system supports pluggable modules. For now, only 'local database' and 'openid with local database' are supported (as with previous versions).
This allows other authentication mechanisms to be plugged in, and use whatever backend you want to use to authenticate your users. For us, this allows an easy introduction of LDAP and Active Directory authentication.
Still todo: modular login and administration panels based on the authentication modules installed.
