[p4] long ticket expiration

[Smith, Jeff]

That may be your reason for choosing LDAP but that's not true for
everyone.  We use it when we can to reduce the number of usernames and
passwords a user has to remember.  We have several applications that can
do LDAP authentication against our Windows domain.  However, all of
these also allow us to create users "local" to the application to use in
addition to the LDAP authentication.

The reason for choosing the LDAP integration is that normal Perforce
passwords are insecure.  If you want to favor convenience over security
don't use auth-check in the first place.
