Re: OSUser: partial success

What is really needed here is a delegating&creating usermanager, that
takes two other user managers as arguments.

What I want is to be able to authenticate against one usermanager (local
- db / ejb / hibernate), and if that fails (user doesn't exit / password
  wrong), then it tests against the other user manager (ldap).  

It then either updates the password or creates the user locally as
required.

This allows you to have a local store of users (which you can attach
propertysets etc etc to), without having to manually create them or keep
them in sync.

Thoughts?
