Class Ldap

public class Ldap
extends java.lang.Object

The LDAP bean is used to communicate with LDAP Directory Servers using the LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access) protocol.

The LDAP bean implements a standard LDAP client as specified in RFC 1777, 2251, and other LDAP RFCs. Support for both LDAP v2 and v3 is provided.

The first step in using the bean is specifying the ServerName , a DN (Distinguished Name) to bind as, and optionally a Password . Then you can call one or more of the bean methods to act upon the server. Server responses are normally received through the Result event. The only exception are search requests which result in one or more SearchResult events, followed by a final SearchComplete event.

Attributes are set and returned through the Attributes collection. Other command arguments are specified through other properties. These are specified in detail in each method.

Search filters are to be specified as string arguments to the Search method. The format must be a standard LDAP search string as specified in RFC 1558. Other search attributes are set in properties such as SearchScope , SearchTimeLimit , SearchSizeLimit , SearchReturnValues , and SearchDerefAliases .

The bean operates synchronously by default (waits for a response before returning control to the caller), however, the bean may also operate asynchronously (return control immediately), by setting Timeout to 0. Please refer to the Timeout property for more information.

When set prior to a Search , entries returned by the server will be sorted according to SortAttributes . The format consists of one or more attribute names separated by spaces. Each attribute may be followed by an optional matching rule.

If matching rules are defined, they should be separated from the attribute names with a "/".

Normally the values are returned in ascending order. If descending (reverse) order of sorting is desired, the attribute type must be preceeded with a "-".

Examples:

 LDAPControl.SortAttributes = "loginTime"
 
 LDAPControl.SortAttributes = "name/caseIgnoreSubstringsMatch age/numericStringSubstringsMatch"
 
 LDAPControl.SortAttributes = "cn age/1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.27"
 
 LDAPControl.SortAttributes = "-cn age/1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.27"

IPWorksException

getTimeout

public int getTimeout()
A timeout for the bean.

If the Timeout property is set to 0, all operations return immediately, potentially failing with an error if they can't be completed immediately.

If Timeout is set to a positive value, the bean will wait for the operation to complete before returning control.

The bean will use DoEvents to enter an efficient wait loop during any potential waiting period, making sure that all system events are processed immediately as they arrive. This ensures that the host application does not "freeze" and remains responsive.

If Timeout expires, and the operation is not yet complete, the bean throws an IPWorksException raises an IPWorksException exception .

Please note that by default, all timeouts are inactivity timeouts , i.e. the timeout period is extended by Timeout seconds when data is successfully sent or received.

Optionally, the behaviour of the bean may be changed to absolute timeouts , i.e. the bean will wait for a maximum of Timeout seconds since the beginning of the operation, without extending the timeout period during communications.

This behavior is controlled by theAbsoluteTimeoutconfiguration setting.

The default value for the Timeout property is 60 seconds.

config

public java.lang.String config(java.lang.String configurationString)
                        throws IPWorksException
Sets or retrieves a beanconfiguration setting.

Config is a generic method available in every bean. It is used to set and retrieveconfiguration settingsfor the bean.

Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the bean, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY , you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE") , where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY") . The value will be returned as a string.

search

public void search(java.lang.String searchFilter)
            throws IPWorksException
Search the directory server using the base object specified in DN and the search filter SearchFilter .

Search the directory server using the base object specified in the DN and the search filter specified in the SearchFilter parameter. Additional search parameters are specified through the SearchScope , SearchDerefAliases , SearchSizeLimit , SearchTimeLimit , and SearchReturnValues properties.

Results are returned through zero or more SearchResult events, after which a SearchComplete event is fired.

Example (Searching for a User)

 LDAPControl.DN = "ou=Employees,dc=server"
 LDAPControl.Search("uid=TThompson") 

A DSE Search (Directory Specific Entries) will search for attributes of the server itself. Example (DSE Search)

 LDAPControl.DN = "" 
 LDAPControl.SearchScope = 0
 LDAPControl.Search("objectClass=*") 

SearchFilter is a string representation of the LDAP search filter used for the search.

The format of the search filter is specified by RFC 1558 and is identical to the format used by most LDAP applications.

The following are examples of search filters, as provided in the RFC:

 (cn=Babs Jensen)
      (!(cn=Tim Howes))
      (&(objectClass=Person)(|(sn=Jensen)(cn=Babs J*)))
      (o=univ*of*mich*) 

The complete specification is given by the following BNF:

 <filter> ::= "(" <filtercomp> ")"
      <filtercomp> ::= <and> | <or> | <not> | <item>
      <and> ::= "&" <filterlist>
      <or> ::= "|" <filterlist>
      <not> ::= "!" <filter>
      <filterlist> ::= <filter> | <filter> <filterlist>
      <item> ::= <simple> | <present> | <substring>
      <simple> ::= <attr> <filtertype> <value>
      <filtertype> ::= <equal> | <approx> | <greater> | <less>
      <equal> ::= "="
      <approx> ::= "~="
      <greater> ::= ">="
      <less> ::= "<="
      <present> ::= <attr> "=*"
      <substring> ::= <attr> "=" <initial> <any> <final>
      <initial> ::= NULL | <value>
      <any> ::= "*" <starval>
      <starval> ::= NULL | <value> "*" <starval>
      <final> ::= NULL | <value> 

<attr> is a string representing an attribute type as defined in RFC 1777. <value> is a string representing an attribute value, or part of one, and has the form defined in RFC 1779. If a <value> must contain one of the characters '*' or '(' or ')', these should be escaped by preceding them with the backslash '\\' character.
