Hi!

I'm looking for an authentication server which is supposed to act as a
proxy to a SOAP server. It should intercept SOAP messages via HTTP,
validate the client's credentials against an LDAP service and, if
validation is succesful, finally propagate the message to the SOAP
server. Further, the authentication server should support some kind of
session mechanism (e.g. using cookies), so that authentication is only
done when creating the session in order to improve the system's
response time.

Is there any recommendable product out there satisfying these needs?
I'd favor some open-source or freeware solution if there is any.

Thanks,
Thomas
