Metacat

change for using the db connection

Updated the Javadoc documentation so that the current release can be provided
on the web site.

Fixed problem with AuthInterface, AuthLdap, and AuthMcat where the
sigantures of the methods of these classes were not in agreement, which was
causing AuthLdap to no longer compile. Changed parameter signatures so that
the 'user' parameter is used consistently in all of the methods.

small fix for exception when srbMaster is not running

XSLT transformation on "login" and "logout" action

AuthMcat

Began work on new UI for the KNB web site. It will be the main query
interface from the KNB website.

Fixed the LDAP authentication adapter (AuthLdap.java) so that it now looks up
the distinguished name for a user before attempting to do authentication.
This is because the user's distinguished name can sometimes be based on
their uid attribute, but sometimes be based on their cn (common name)...

merge AUTH_LDAP to the main branch
