Currently, XWiki allows only one method of authentication to be
enabled. This means that using LDAP disables the normal XWiki users.
This is an error in the architecture, and I vote for changing
this. Instead of using only one authentication/rights mechanism, we
should have a list. When trying to authenticate a user, all the
registered authenticators should be used, until at least one correctly
identifies the user.
This should be better planned, so that in the future no other
changes should be made.
