Coral maintains its own list of users, which you can manage through a section of the Web interface. Regular users and administrators aren't integrated with LDAP or Active Directory. You won't get any single sign-on or synchronization with an existing list of users here. If you need to audit Coral server usage, you can run Web-based accounting reports from within the product's interface, but you can't customize them beyond selecting a date range.
Overall, Coral is a pleasure to work with. But it's important to realize it's a support tool for your SOA effort, not the only tool you'll need. The WSDL contracts and Web Services you work with in Coral must be built with your Web Services' toolkit of choice. Coral will support a mature SOA process if you've got the discipline to use it across the entire lifecycle of your software.
