Disclaimer:
These pages about different languages / apis / best practices were mostly jotted down quckily and rarely corrected afterwards.
The languages / apis / best practices may have changed over time (e.g. the facebook api being a prime example), so what was documented as a good way to do something at the time might be outdated when you read it (some pages here are over 15 years old).
Just as a reminder.

LDAP

This is an example that is working for authenticate and authorize to Active Directory, depends on your active directory setup of course.
 <application-policy name = "ldap">
       <authentication>
 	<login-module code="org.jboss.security.auth.spi.LdapExtLoginModule" flag="required">
 	  <module-option name="java.naming.factory.initial">com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory</module-option>
 	  <module-option name="java.naming.provider.url">ldap://somedomain.com:389/</module-option>
 	  <module-option name="java.naming.security">simple</module-option>
 	  <module-option name="bindDN">username@domain.com</module-option>
 	  <module-option name="bindCredential">password</module-option>
 	  <module-option name="baseCtxDN">OU=All Users,DC=DOMAIN,DC=COM</module-option>
 	  <module-option name="baseFilter">(sAMAccountName={0})</module-option>
 
 	  <--  Note: the next two lines are not typo,
                they go over All Users group and sAMAccountName as well for the roles -->
 .          <module-option name="rolesCtxDN">OU=All Users,DC=DOMAIN,DC=COM</module-option>
            <module-option name="roleFilter">(sAMAccountName={0})</module-option>
 
 	  <module-option name="roleAttributeIsDN">true</module-option>
 	  <module-option name="roleAttributeID">memberOf</module-option>
 	  <module-option name="roleNameAttributeID">cn</module-option>
 	  <module-option name="roleRecursion">-1</module-option>
 	</login-module>
       </authentication>
     </application-policy>
