      Customer wants to use LdapExtLoginModule as a login module for JConsole
      instead of the traditional role/password, role/access files.

      "Configuring the proper JBoss classes into the ext classloader seems to be a
      bit of a challenge. So, just to test the concept I copied the LdapExtLoginModule
      to a new package and deployed just that (and the minimal dependencies
      which were also moved to a different package) to the JDK's ext directory. We
      are running JDK 5, so for now the build-in JDK LdapLoginModule is not an
      option. In this scenario, users are properly authenticated, but obviously we
      don't want to manage this code ourselves. So, I am wondering if there is either
      a manageable set of dependencies we could configure as extlibs, or if a more
      minimal standalone realm could be created that would just delegate to another
      JMX (or JNDI)-based realm. This minimal realm could then be deployed in the
      ext classpath."

      The customer would prefer not to manage the package containing LdapExtLoginModule
      and the corresponding dependencies and to be provided this, or alternatively,
      create a minimal realm that can delegate via JMX or JNDI to another realm.
