LDAP Chai is an easy-to-use Java LDAP API. It wraps low-level Java interfaces such as the JNDI API with easy to use interfaces. LDAPChai Includes the following features:

  • LDAP Vendor abstraction - no vendor specific code needed
    • Password changes
    • Password expiration
    • Password policy reader
    • Error code normalization
    • Group read/write management
    • Account status (expiration, intruder lock) checks and resets
    • Normalized value reading and writing for date/timestamp, int, string and binary types
  • Vendors supported:
    • NetIQ eDirectory
    • Microsoft Active Directory
    • Directory Server 389
    • Oracle DS
    • OpenLDAP
    • Generic LDAP
  • LDAP multi-server failover support
  • LDAP idle connection watch-dog automatically opens and closes connections based on activity
  • Pagination support for handling large queries from AD and other page-limited LDAP servers.
  • Pluggable LDAP API Provider support
    • JDK included JNDI-LDAP interface (default)
    • JLDAP
    • Apache Directory LDAP API
    • Access to provider if there is a need to bypass chai API.

LDAP Chai is well suited for business applications and general purpose LDAP development.

All operations to LDAP Chai are request/response (no long term iterators on search) so that fail-over can happen seamlessly.

0.7 Update:

The 0.7 update changes the API in several ways that are not backward compatible:

  • Minimum Java level increased to Java 8
  • The factories are no longer static and must be instantiated and have their own lifecycle.
  • ChaiFactory has been replaced with ChaiEntryFactory (which can be obtained via ChaiProvider.getEntryFactory())
  • Deprecated APIs have been removed
  • ChaiEntry:isValid() was renamed to ChaiEntry:exists()
