LDAP client

Plugin page: http://artifacts.griffon-framework.org/plugin/ldap

The Griffon LDAP Plugin uses the Gldapo library to provide an easy to use, object oriented, interface to LDAP enabled directories. A direct port of the LDAP plugin for Grails. Original plugin made by Luke Daley.

Usage

The Gldapo site contains the current documentation for Gldapo. Please refer to that, but beware that initialization/config is a little different in the Griffon context.

Configuration

To configure gldapo for use with your Griffon app, you follow the same regular config script initialization process, except that you put the config under the key ldap in your Griffon application config. The most common way to do this is to use the griffon-app/conf/Config.groovy file.

    ldap {
        directories {
            directory1 {
                url = "ldap://example.com"
                base = "ou=example,dc=com"
                userDn = "uid=someuser,ou=example,dc=com"
                password = "password"
                searchControls {
                    countLimit = 40
                    timeLimit = 600
                    searchScope = "subtree"
                }
            }
            directory2 {
                urls = [ "ldap://s1.example2.com", "ldap://s2.example2.com"]
                base = "ou=example2,dc=com"
            }
         }
    }

Schema Classes

This plugin adds the griffon-app/ldap directory to your project. You should put your schema classes in this directory to have them found by the plugin and automatically registered into your config.

The ‘gldapo’ bean

This plugin also adds a bean called gldapo to your application context. This bean is the instance of gldapo.Gldapo created from the config.
