Method Detail

setInitialDirContextEnvironment

void setInitialDirContextEnvironment(java.util.Map environment)

Set the LDAP environment Hashtable properties used ot initialise the LDAP connection.

Parameters:

environment -

getDefaultIntialDirContext

javax.naming.directory.InitialDirContext getDefaultIntialDirContext(int pageSize)
                                                                    throws org.alfresco.repo.security.authentication.AuthenticationException

Use the environment properties and connect to the LDAP server, optionally configuring RFC 2696 paged results. Used to obtain read only access to the LDAP server.

Parameters:

pageSize - if a positive value, indicates that a LDAP v3 RFC 2696 paged results control should be used. The results of a search operation should be returned by the LDAP server in batches of the specified size.

Returns:

the default intial dir context

Throws:

org.alfresco.repo.security.authentication.AuthenticationException - the authentication exception

getDefaultIntialDirContext

javax.naming.directory.InitialDirContext getDefaultIntialDirContext()
                                                                    throws org.alfresco.repo.security.authentication.AuthenticationException

Use the environment properties and connect to the LDAP server. Used to obtain read only access to the LDAP server.

Returns:

Throws:

org.alfresco.repo.security.authentication.AuthenticationException

hasNextPage

boolean hasNextPage(javax.naming.directory.DirContext ctx,
                  int pageSize)

Determines whether there is another page to fetch from the last search to be run in this context. Also prepares the request controls so that the appropriate cookie will be passed in the next search.

Parameters:

ctx - the context

pageSize - if a positive value, indicates that a LDAP v3 RFC 2696 paged results control should be used. The results of a search operation should be returned by the LDAP server in batches of the specified size.

Returns:

true, if is ready for next page

getInitialDirContext

javax.naming.directory.InitialDirContext getInitialDirContext(java.lang.String principal,
                                                            java.lang.String credentials)

Augment the connection environment with the identity and credentials and bind to the ldap server. Mainly used to validate a user's credentials during authentication.

Parameters:

principal -
