Features

How to use

Add the dependency to your dependencies.yml file

require:
    - ldap -> ldap 1.5.0

repositories:
    - sismicsNexusRaw:
        type: http
        artifact: "https://nexus.sismics.com/repository/sismics/[module]-[revision].zip"
        contains:
            - ldap -> *

Set configuration parameters

Add the following parameters to application.conf:

# LDAP configuration
# ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ldap.mock=false
ldap.host=ldap.example.com
ldap.port=389
ldap.adminDn=cn=user,ou=group,dc=example,dc=com
ldap.adminPassword=12345678
ldap.baseDn=ou=people,dc=example,dc=com

Connect to LDAP

Add the following annotation to inject an LDAP connection into your HTTP request:

@With({Ldap.class})
public class MyThings extends Controller {
    public static void getUsersFromLdap() {
        LdapConnection con = LdapContext.get().getLdapConnection();
        con.search(...);
    }

}

Mock the connection in dev

We recommand to mock LDAP in development mode and test profile.

Use the following configuration parameter:

ldap.mock=true

Play-ldap comes pre-initialized with some mock users.

You can add some test users in your fixtures:

        if (LdapUtil.isMock()) {
            MockLdap.entryList = Lists.newArrayList(
                new DefaultEntry("cn=test1,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com"),
                // ...
            );
