Class LDAPServerContextFactory

java.lang.Object
  com.bankframe.ei.ldap.LDAPServerContextFactory

public class LDAPServerContextFactory

extends java.lang.Object

This factory class creates LDAPServerContext instances associated with the specified alias. The alias name corresponds to a number of entries in the BankframeResource.properties that all begin with a prefix identical to the alias name. These entries identify how to establish the connection to the LDAP server. See LDAPServerContext for an explanation of these entries. In order to simplify the defintion of these settings, settings common to all LDAP contexts can be specified with the prefix: ldap.default, e.g.
ldap.default.java.naming.provider.url=ldap://hostname:389>
ldap.default.java.naming.factory.initial=com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory
ldap.default.java.naming.security.authentication=simple
These default settings will be inherited by all LDAP contexts. Any settings that are redefined in a specific context will override the default settings.
