    What's the best way to authenticate a user with JNDI? I wrote
    a little piece of code to check the userPassword attribute, which
    seems to work quite happily with nds, and I assume openldap is no
    different, but the attribute doesn't seem to exist in users
    on active directory, so I'm assuming there's some proprietry
    microsoft authentication going on there.. Is there an attribute
    that I can check the pass agains, or a hash of the pass against,
    or is it better to just try and to to use the details of the
    username/password I'm verifying as the login credentials, and
    catch the exception if creating the context fails? I'd have
    assumed the previous would be the 'cleaner' solution...
