| AuthenticationServiceLDAPImpl.java | Class | Authentication service that works with a directory
server accessed via the Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) APIs.
The following constraints are imposed on the data structure in the
underlying directory server:
- Each user that can be authenticated is represented by an individual
element in the top level
DirContext that is accessed
via the connectionURL property.
- If a socket connection can not be made to the
connectURL
an attempt will be made to use the alternateURL if it
exists.
- Each user element has a distinguished name that can be formed by
substituting the presented username into a pattern configured by the
userPattern property.
- Alternatively, if the
userPattern property is not
specified, a unique element can be located by searching the directory
context. |
