Hi Liliana,

We had a couple of months back attempted a case to use CAS (
http://www.jasig.org/cas) to use common authentication between DHIS2 and
Drupal
This was for an implementation in Vietnam
It was fairly simple for CAS to use the DHIS2 database and allow login into
drupal by sharing the same user/pass

With LDAP, the challenge is to be able to map the authorization and not
authentication.
If you just want to share authentication, and keep the authorization inside
DHIS2 as it is... it should be fairly simple... just like we did with the
CAS case.
Spring already provide OpenIDAuthenticationFilter for this purpose.

I want to confirm, do you want to do just authentication or authorization?
Is there a default role that you'd like to give anyone who authenticates
using the OpenID? and do you want this role to be configurable?
There are those complexities that can be avoided, if you just want to use
OpenID server for authentication and then let DHIS2 deal with everything
else.
