We will plan and try to add something which uses the com.sun.security.auth.module.LdapLoginModule for a future release. Or enhance the existing one

You do not need OSGI and HK2 to write a custom realm. It is only if you need to make an OSGI aware realm then you need to use the blog above. Nithya will point you to another blog which would show just how to build a simple custom realm (no OSGI/HK2).
