Bug #3680

Allow for different authentication services in metacat configuration
Added by Michael Daigle over 15 years ago.

Description
Right now, the metacat configuration utility authenticates against ldap. It should allow for the usage of any authentication schema.
Shouldn't the configuration utility be using the AuthInterface interface for all of its calls? That would help abstract it away from the need for a specific LDAP implementation. Maybe an additional method or two need to be added to AuthInterface to support verifying account existence?
Changed the configuration authentication to use the generic AuthSession. Added the auth class to the configuration utility. Updated install/update documentation to reflect the changes.
Original Bugzilla ID was 3680
