The new project management infrastructure will use LDAP to authenticate users. This will require a change in how we use LDAP today. Specifically, we currently use LDAP to track committers only. This will have to be extended to all authenticated (authenticatable?) users.

In order to get to our goal of a single eclipse sign-on for all of our sites I've implemented the login system, this was done with the Drupal LDAP module and some custom tweaking of the settings.

Currently committers are able to login to projects.eclipse.org using their committer _EMAIL_ address and committer password.  We do an LDAP query to translate their email address to their current committer id in the background.  

This results in users being granted permissions to modify the project listings that they are a committer on.

Marking this as fixed as it is deployed on projects.eclipse.org
