I need help getting started using jazz form authentication to create my own application.

We integrate our Jazz server to a LDAP Directory to manage users. JTS does not allow you to perform easy user/group maintenance once you integrate to a LDAP. For example you cannot:
1. Create new users
2. Change passwords
3. Edit existing user details

I'd like to create an application to solve this, unless someone has already created this?

I need to be able to use form based authentication against the JTS to determine if the user is a JazzAdmin,JazzUser, etc.
I wish to display certain information depending on their repository role:
1. Add user
2. Edit users (display a table of user information)
3. Change password

Any help getting started is appreciated!
