Re: APEX developer login question

Yes, this feature was added quite a few years ago. Works good and supports all the same built in authentication mechanisms as authentication for apps. I've been using LDAP and HTTP header authentication for workspace login. But you need to add users to the workspace first, with the same username as the authentication scheme returns.
You need to create workspace users in each workspace on the APEX side - on LDAP side they are of course the same user.

Quick google returned a few tutorials:
