ChenilleKit LDAP Module

This module offers you the possibilty to inject a leightweight LDAP search functionality to your application.

how to configure

First create a property file (like "ldap.properties") where you store your access information to connect the LDAP server.

Not only a properties based configuration is possible. Please read the "Configuration" section in the core module for further information. 

                    
#
# choose the LDAP version, maybe 2 or 3
# default = 3
#
ldap.version = 3

#
# set the hostname/ip of the LDAP server
#
ldap.hostname = x500.bund.de

#
# set the port of the LDAP server
# default = 389
#
ldap.hostport = 389

#
# if the LDAP server require to authenticate
# insert your auth DN here
# default is empty
#
ldap.authdn =

#
# if the LDAP server require to authenticate
# insert your auth password here
# default is empty
#
ldap.authpwd =

Next, let the SearchService know, where to find the configuration file. Add to your Application Module (Tapestry IOC) the contribution: 

                    
public static void contributeSimpleLdapSearcherService(ClassFactory classFactory,
                                                       MappedConfiguration<String, Resource> configuration)
{
    Resource resource = new ClasspathResource(classFactory.getClassLoader(), "ldap.properties");
    configuration.add(SearcherService.CONFIG_KEY, resource);
}

how to use

Now your are able to use the LDAP search service. Here a short example: 

                    
String baseDN = "o=Bund,c=DE";
String filter = "(cn=Bund*)";
String attribute = "mail";

List<LDAPEntry> matches = searcherService.search(baseDN, filter, attribute);
for (LDAPEntry match : matches)
{
    Enumeration values = match.getAttribute(attribute).getStringValues();
    while (values.hasMoreElements())
    {
        String value = (String) values.nextElement();
        System.err.println(String.format("value of attribute '%s': %s", attribute, value));
    }
}
