java.lang.Object
  org.jivesoftware.openfire.ldap.LdapAuthorizationPolicy

All Implemented Interfaces:

AuthorizationPolicy

public class LdapAuthorizationPolicy
extends Object
implements AuthorizationPolicy

Provider for authorization using LDAP. Checks if the authenticated principal is in the user's LDAP object using the authorizeField from the openfire.xml file. An entry in that file would look like the following:

   <ldap>
     <authorizeField> k5login </authorizeField>
   </ldap>

This implementation requires that LDAP be configured, obviously.
