LDAPVendor

class LDAPVendor extends Loggable with SimpleInjector

This class provides functionality to allow us to search and bind (authenticate) a username from a ldap server.

To configure the LDAP Vendor parameters, use one of the configure methods to provide a Map of string parameters.

The primary parameters (with defaults) are:

-

Optionally, you can set the following parameters to control context testing and reconnect attempts:

In addition to configuration via a Map or Properties file, fine-grained control over behaviors can be specified via Inject values corresponding to each of the properties.

To use LDAPVendor, you can simply create an object extending it and configure:

object myLdap extends LDAPVendor
myLdap.configure()

Type Members

  1. abstract class Inject[T] extends StackableMaker[T] with Vendor[T]

    Create an object or val that is a subclass of the FactoryMaker to generate factory for a particular class as well as define session and request specific vendors and use doWith to define the vendor just for the scope of the call.
