- 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 system properties. An entry in that file would look like the following:
- ldap.authorizeField = k5login
This implementation requires that LDAP be configured, obviously.
