Description
- Create an AuthService authentication interface with methods like authenticate
- Implement BasicAuthService (combine AuthService and UserService) that authenticates using the database
- Implement LdapAuthService (see attachment for an example)
We should also investigate what LDAP support Spring Security has before we do any of the above.
