     34 * Simple LDAP authentication to allow authentication against corporate authentication system
     35 * Plain text version (for low bandwidth searching)
     36 * CSW harvesting
     37 * AOI server and client (harvesting) support + administration interface
     38 * Notification system for system administrators in GeoNetwork software:
     39   * A client thread to send a keep alive message to the server;
     40   * Using the keep alive messages, the server provides a list of users/ hosts currently active. An administrator service will be added to show the list of connected users;
     41   * The new administrative page that displays the active users provides the administrator the option to send a message to all or single users;
     42   * The text message will be presented on the client browser;
     43   * A maintenance password will be used to avoid logins before a scheduled reboot, or while testing the system. This prevents users to connect to an unstable system.
