There are 3 database stores for you to worry about.

Users
Roles / Permissions / Resouces
Keys

If you are just providing Users / Authentication ldap integration, then
you need only to create an LDAP Provider for the Users Store.

Use the maven 2 build process and you don't have to manage the
components.xml manually, as the maven 2 build process creates them from
annotations within the source code.

See the examples in source control -
https://svn.codehaus.org/plexus/plexus-redback/branches/plexus-security-1.0-alpha-11/user-management/providers/
