Authentication mechanism and code procedure from web app to an LDAP server

[Wal Samaad]

Hello, i have posted a couple of entries here with regards to authenticating to an LDAP server and some of the members are thinking, i am an hacker/cracker of a sort. Please could anyone tell/show me how to write the code for authentication from users on a web app to an LDAP server. I have a web app written already but users entries are stored in an LDAp server, i need to authenticate user from that dirctory, what do i do and how am i suppose to strcuture the code. I am using JAVA EE, MySQL server and a Sun Directory Enterprise Edition LDAP server. thanks
