Constructor Detail

LdapManager
public LdapManager(Map<String,String> properties)
Constructs a new LdapManager instance. Typically,getInstance()
should be called instead of this method. LdapManager instances should only be created directly for testing purposes.- Parameters:
properties
- the Map that contains properties used by the LDAP manager, such as LDAP host and base DN.
-
-
Method Detail
-
getInstance
public static LdapManager getInstance()
Provides singleton access to an instance of the LdapManager class.- Returns:
- an LdapManager instance.
-
getContext
public LdapContext getContext() throws NamingException
Returns a DirContext for the LDAP server that can be used to perform lookups and searches using the default base DN. The alternate DN will be used in case there is aNamingException
using base DN. The context uses the admin login that is defined byadminDN
andadminPassword
.- Returns:
- a connection to the LDAP server.
- Throws:
NamingException
- if there is an error making the LDAP connection.
-
getContext
public LdapContext getContext(String baseDN) throws NamingException
Returns a DirContext for the LDAP server that can be used to perform lookups and searches using the specified base DN. The context uses the admin login that is defined byadminDN
andadminPassword
.- Parameters:
baseDN
- the base DN to use for the context.- Returns:
- a connection to the LDAP server.
- Throws:
NamingException
- if there is an error making the LDAP connection.
-
checkAuthentication
public boolean checkAuthentication(String userDN, String password)
Returns true if the user is able to successfully authenticate against the LDAP server. The "simple" authentication protocol is used.- Parameters:
userDN
- the user's dn to authenticate (relative tobaseDN
).password
- the user's password.- Returns:
- true if the user successfully authenticates.
-
findUserDN
public String findUserDN(String username) throws Exception
Finds a user's dn using their username. Normally, this search will be performed using the field "uid", but this can be changed by setting theusernameField
property.Searches are performed over all subtrees relative to the
baseDN
. If the search fails in thebaseDN
then another search will be performed in thealternateBaseDN
. For example, if thebaseDN
is "o=jivesoftware, o=com" and we do a search for "mtucker", then we might find a userDN of "uid=mtucker,ou=People". This kind of searching is a good thing since it doesn't make the assumption that all user records are stored in a flat structure. However, it does add the requirement that "uid" field (or the other field specified) must be unique over the entire subtree from thebaseDN
. For example, it's entirely possible to create two dn's in your LDAP directory with the same uid: "uid=mtucker,ou=People" and "uid=mtucker,ou=Administrators". In such a case, it's not possible to uniquely identify a user, so this method will throw an error.The dn that's returned is relative to the default
baseDN
.- Parameters:
username
- the username to lookup the dn for.- Returns:
- the dn associated with
username
. - Throws:
Exception
- if the search for the dn fails.
-
findUserDN
public String findUserDN(String username, String baseDN) throws Exception
Finds a user's dn using their username in the specified baseDN. Normally, this search will be performed using the field "uid", but this can be changed by setting theusernameField
property.Searches are performed over all sub-trees relative to the
baseDN
unless sub-tree searching has been disabled. For example, if thebaseDN
is "o=jivesoftware, o=com" and we do a search for "mtucker", then we might find a userDN of "uid=mtucker,ou=People". This kind of searching is a good thing since it doesn't make the assumption that all user records are stored in a flat structure. However, it does add the requirement that "uid" field (or the other field specified) must be unique over the entire subtree from thebaseDN
. For example, it's entirely possible to create two dn's in your LDAP directory with the same uid: "uid=mtucker,ou=People" and "uid=mtucker,ou=Administrators". In such a case, it's not possible to uniquely identify a user, so this method will throw an error.The DN that's returned is relative to the
baseDN
.- Parameters:
username
- the username to lookup the dn for.baseDN
- the base DN to use for this search.- Returns:
- the dn associated with
username

Exception
- if the search for the dn fails.- See Also:
to search using the default baseDN and alternateBaseDN.

Finds a groups's dn using it's group name. Normally, this search will be performed using the field "cn", but this can be changed by setting thegroupNameField
property.Searches are performed over all subtrees relative to the
baseDN
. If the search fails in thebaseDN
then another search will be performed in thealternateBaseDN
. For example, if thebaseDN
is "o=jivesoftware, o=com" and we do a search for "managers", then we might find a groupDN of "uid=managers,ou=Groups". This kind of searching is a good thing since it doesn't make the assumption that all user records are stored in a flat structure. However, it does add the requirement that "cn" field (or the other field specified) must be unique over the entire subtree from thebaseDN
. For example, it's entirely possible to create two dn's in your LDAP directory with the same cn: "cn=managers,ou=Financial" and "cn=managers,ou=Engineers". In such a case, it's not possible to uniquely identify a group, so this method will throw an error.The dn that's returned is relative to the default
baseDN
.- Parameters:
groupname
- the groupname to lookup the dn for.- Returns:
- the dn associated with
groupname
. - Throws:
Exception
- if the search for the dn fails.
-
findGroupDN
public String findGroupDN(String groupname, String baseDN) throws Exception
Finds a groups's dn using it's group name. Normally, this search will be performed using the field "cn", but this can be changed by setting thegroupNameField
property.Searches are performed over all subtrees relative to the
baseDN
. If the search fails in thebaseDN
then another search will be performed in thealternateBaseDN
. For example, if thebaseDN
is "o=jivesoftware, o=com" and we do a search for "managers", then we might find a groupDN of "uid=managers,ou=Groups". This kind of searching is a good thing since it doesn't make the assumption that all user records are stored in a flat structure. However, it does add the requirement that "cn" field (or the other field specified) must be unique over the entire subtree from thebaseDN
