LdapService

Overview

The LdapService class integrates an LDAP listener with an authentication engine. It facilitates LDAP-based authentication workflows and lifecycle management.

Implemented Interfaces

• EngineAware

• TrustbuilderServiceLifecycle

Available Methods

Set Workflow

void setWorkflow(String workflow)

Defines the workflow for LDAP authentication.

• Parameters:

  • workflow (String): The workflow name.

Set Engine

void setEngine(Engine engine)

Sets the authentication engine used by the LDAP listener.

• Parameters:

  • engine (Engine): The authentication engine.

Start Service

void start()

Initializes and starts the LDAP listener.

Stop Service

void stop()

Stops and shuts down the LDAP listener.

Set LDAP Port

void setPort(int port)

Defines the port on which the LDAP listener runs.

• Parameters:

  • port (int): The LDAP service port (default: 389).

Enable Debug Mode

void setDebug(boolean debug)

Enables or disables debug mode for the LDAP listener.

• Parameters:

  • debug (boolean): true to enable debugging, false to disable.

Dependencies

• LdapListener: Handles LDAP authentication requests.

• Engine: The core authentication engine.

Security Considerations

• Ensure that the LDAP service runs on a secure port (LDAPS over 636 is recommended).

• Only expose LDAP to trusted network segments.

• Debugging should be disabled in production environments to prevent logging of sensitive information.

The LdapService is responsible for managing an LDAP authentication listener and integrating it with an authentication engine.
