Re: a webservice to authenticate the users against

sounds like a great place for defining an authentication interface for all
those subsystems.

public interface IAuth
{
public bool ValidateUser(string username, string passwordHash);
// etc
}

Then just provide the implementations for the 4 flavors (java ws, sql,
oracle, AD), then create your front-end webservice that delegates to one of
those implementations. I guess you could specify the implementation to use,
within web.config.

[WebService]
public class MyAuthnService
{
IAuth authService= // ??? figure out how to select among the
implementations

[WebMethod]
public Login(string username, string passwordHash)
{
if (authnService.Validate(username,passwordHash)) {
// use can log in...
}
}
}
