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 a `NamingException` using base DN. The context uses the admin login that is defined by `adminDN` and `adminPassword`.

  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 by `adminDN` and `adminPassword`.

  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 to `baseDN`).
    `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 the `usernameField` property.

  Searches are performed over all subtrees relative to the `baseDN`. If the search fails in the `baseDN` then another search will be performed in the `alternateBaseDN`. For example, if the `baseDN` 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 the `baseDN`. 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 the `usernameField` property.

  Searches are performed over all sub-trees relative to the `baseDN` unless sub-tree searching has been disabled. For example, if the `baseDN` 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 the `baseDN`. 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`.
  Throws:
    `Exception` - if the search for the dn fails.
  See Also:
    `to search using the default baseDN and alternateBaseDN.`

### findGroupDN

    public String findGroupDN(String groupname)
                       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 the `groupNameField` property.

  Searches are performed over all subtrees relative to the `baseDN`. If the search fails in the `baseDN` then another search will be performed in the `alternateBaseDN`. For example, if the `baseDN` 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 the `baseDN`. 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 the `groupNameField` property.

  Searches are performed over all subtrees relative to the `baseDN`. If the search fails in the `baseDN` then another search will be performed in the `alternateBaseDN`. For example, if the `baseDN` 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 the `baseDN`. 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.
    `baseDN` - the base DN to use for this search.
  Returns:
    the dn associated with `groupname`.
  Throws:
    `Exception` - if the search for the dn fails.

                                     int startIndex,
                                     int numResults,
                                     String suffixToTrim)

  Generic routine for retrieving a list of results from the LDAP server. It's meant to be very flexible so that just about any query for a list of results can make use of it without having to reimplement their own calls to LDAP. This routine also accounts for sorting settings, paging settings, any other global settings, and alternate DNs. The passed in filter string needs to be pre-prepared! In other words, nothing will be changed in the string before it is used as a string.

  Parameters:
    `attribute` - LDAP attribute to be pulled from each result and placed in the return results. Typically pulled from this manager.
    `searchFilter` - Filter to use to perform the search. Typically pulled from this manager.
    `startIndex` - Number/index of first result to include in results. (-1 for no limit)
    `numResults` - Number of results to include. (-1 for no limit)
    `suffixToTrim` - An arbitrary string to trim from the end of every attribute returned. null to disable.
  Returns:
    A simple list of strings (that should be sorted) of the results.

### retrieveListCount

    public Integer retrieveListCount(String attribute,
                                     String searchFilter)

  Generic routine for retrieving the number of available results from the LDAP server that match the passed search filter. This routine also accounts for paging settings and alternate DNs. The passed in filter string needs to be pre-prepared! In other words, nothing will be changed in the string before it is used as a string.

  Parameters:
    `attribute` - LDAP attribute to be pulled from each result and used in the query. Typically pulled from this manager.
    `searchFilter` - Filter to use to perform the search. Typically pulled from this manager.
  Returns:
    The number of entries that match the filter.

### getEnclosedDN

    public static String getEnclosedDN(String dnValue)

  Encloses DN values with "

  Parameters:
    `dnValue` - the unenclosed value of a DN (e.g. ou=Jive Software\, Inc,dc=support,dc=jive,dc=com)
  Returns:
    String the enclosed value of the DN (e.g. ou="Jive Software\, Inc",dc="support",dc="jive",dc="com")
