how do we instantiate different implementions with this, e.g. LDAP, 
OpenID, ...?

I think I remember now how I intended to do it in the first place:

-  Having a generic API (independent of the implementation)
-  Using different Yarep implementations for the various usecases 
(Default, LDAP, OpenID, ...)
