LDAP Active Director

[Luis Parente]

Hello,

I try to configure a connection to LDAP by configuration bean.

The user connects basis through a login page.

Here's my setup:

<bean id="contextSource"
        class="org.springframework.security.ldap.DefaultSpringSecurityContextSource">
  <constructor-arg value="ldap://monkeymachine:389/dc=springframework,dc=org"/>
  <property name="userDn" value="cn=manager,dc=springframework,dc=org"/>
  <property name="password" value="password"/>
</bean>

The problem is the password, because each user has different password....


I want something like this:

<property name="password" value="(pass={0})"/>

The field password is in my login page.

<form action="j_spring_security_check" name="loginForm" method="post">
<table id="login">
<thead>
<tr><th colspan="2" align="center"><h3>Login</h3></th></tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<c:if test="${param.loginError == 't'}">
<tr><td colspan="2">Invalid UserId/password</td></tr>
</c:if>
<tr>
<td><label class="inputLabel" for="j_username">User Id:</label></td>
<td><input type='text' name='j_username' value='' id="j_username"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><label class="inputLabel" for="j_password">Password:</label></td>
<td><input type='password' name='j_password' value='' id="j_password"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input name="submit" type="submit" value='Login'/></td>
<td><input name="reset" type="reset" id="resetButton" /></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</form>

Then how to configure the bean to account password in the login page?


Thanks in advance.

Best regards.

I have not used it personally but if you are using Active directory Spring Security added a ActiveDirectoryLdapAuthenticationProvider you might want to investigate this. Here is a good blog on it
