User accounts & networked LDAP?

Hi,

We want to make changes to allow new users to use Blojsom
even when  
they do not have user accounts on the Blojsom/Tiger server.
Currently,  
we can authorize from a remote LDAP database on Solaris, if
the user  
is authenticated by the Apple OS. But can the Blojsom
application  
itself do both authentication and authorization of new users
via the  
remote LDAP/Solaris server? Or must all Blojsom users have
an account  
on the Apple operating system too?

That is, if a username/password entity exists on the LDAP
server, can  
Blojsom be configured to simultaneously authenticate and
authorize  
that user to create their own blog and/or podcast, even
though they do  
not have a local account on the Apple server operating
system?

If the answer to that is "yes", can you point me
to the relevant  
documentation. I have not been able to determine if this is
possible  
and I have become confused. Again.  

Thank you.

Frank Szot
