Since this article http://symfony.com/doc/2.0/cookbook/security/custom_provider.html has not been written yet, has anyone an idea of how to do that ? (In my case it would be using LDAP authentication).
Thanks for your answers

To help you get started you can check out my blog post which outlines how to create a very basic user provider system:
http://clintberry.com/2011/custom-user-providers-symfony2/
EDIT: This post only covers the custom User Provider. To use LDAP authentication you will need to create your own Authentication Provider as well or use a third party library. http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/security/custom_authentication_provider.html
This first thing I would suggest you is to do a search for a LDAP bundle on the great website KnpBundles (results here). I saw two results. If you are willing to use an external bundle, you could just use of the two given in the results.
If you prefer to create your own bundle for this task, what I would suggest is to inspire you from these two bundles. Another useful suggestion is to check the FOSFacebookBundle. It is in no mean related to LDAP but, they implements their own provider, so all the glue is there to implement your own.
Just a small notice, if you are developing against Symfony2 master branch, it is good to know that security factory registration has changed a bit. So, be carefull when looking at other bundles to be sure what version they are targeting.
Hope this helps.
