Class LdapSimpleAuthenticator

java.lang.Object

org.apache.juddi.v3.auth.LdapSimpleAuthenticator

All Implemented Interfaces:

Authenticator

public class LdapSimpleAuthenticator
extends Object
implements Authenticator

This is a implementation of jUDDI's Authenticator interface, that uses the LDAP. z Usage: To use this class you must add the following properties to the juddiv3.properties file: # The LDAP Authenticator juddi.authenticator=org.apache.juddi.v3.auth.LdapSimpleAuthenticator # LDAP authentication URL juddi.authenticator.url=ldap://localhost:389 This authenticator assumes that the publisher username is the same as the LDAP principal name, which may not be the case as the LDAP principal might be a bind name. This class could easily be extended so that the uid of the LDAP authenticated user is used, or to authenticate by group.

This class was tested with OpenLDAP.
