I just read Pete Muir's interview (very informative by the way) here:

Of course, identity management is one of those things that pretty much every application needs: the ability to add users, change users' passwords, store users in the database or in an LDAP server, and display these screens to the user. So, sort of built-in support for that.
referring to above quote, are there any examples in the Seam 2.1 distro that demonstrate this functionality? I'm assuming it would be using HSQLDB and not LDAP/AD for a demo... But it would still be helpful. A lot of Seam shops would be doing this dev on their own so it's a value-added enhancement...
The Seamspace example contains a lot of the new 2.1 security features.
