Propagate user accounts to database

I am using a 3 tier application:
presentation layer
service layer
DAO layer

My application's users are authenticated to an LDAP.
My database can accept these users because it authenticates to the same LDAP.
Currently my application uses a single (super) user on the database, defined in the datasource configuration.
However my application should propagate the real users to the database,
so the database has correct "lastModifiedBy", "higherUserActivity", ... statistics.

Is it possible to propagate user accounts to the database?
If so, through JAAS or Acegi (or Acegi using JAAS?)?

Custom connection provider is a recomended way, but you can wrapp things in many ways.
