LDAP
Since Camel 1.5
The ldap component allows you to perform searches in LDAP servers using filters as the message payload.
This component uses standard JNDI (`javax.naming` package) to access the server.
Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml
for this component:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
<artifactId>camel-ldap</artifactId>
<version>x.x.x</version>
<!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>
URI format
ldap:ldapServerBean[?options]
The ldapServerBean portion of the URI refers to a
DirContext
bean in the registry. The LDAP component only supports producer
endpoints, which means that an ldap
URI cannot appear in the from
at
the start of a route.
You can append query options to the URI in the following format,
?option=value&option=value&…
Options
The LDAP component has no options.
The LDAP endpoint is configured using URI syntax:
ldap:dirContextName
with the following path and query parameters:
Path Parameters (1 parameters):
Name | Description | Default | Type |
---|---|---|---|
dirContextName |
Required Name of either a javax.naming.directory.DirContext, or java.util.Hashtable, or Map bean to lookup in the registry. If the bean is either a Hashtable or Map then a new javax.naming.directory.DirContext instance is created for each use. If the bean is a javax.naming.directory.DirContext then the bean is used as given. The latter may not be possible in all situations where the javax.naming.directory.DirContext must not be shared, and in those situations it can be better to use java.util.Hashtable or Map instead. |
String |
Query Parameters (5 parameters):
Name | Description | Default | Type |
---|---|---|---|
base (producer) |
The base DN for searches. |
ou=system |
String |
pageSize (producer) |
When specified the ldap module uses paging to retrieve all results (most LDAP Servers throw an exception when trying to retrieve more than 1000 entries in one query). To be able to use this a LdapContext (subclass of DirContext) has to be passed in as ldapServerBean (otherwise an exception is thrown) |
Integer |
|
returnedAttributes (producer) |
Comma-separated list of attributes that should be set in each entry of the result |
String |
|
scope (producer) |
Specifies how deeply to search the tree of entries, starting at the base DN. |
subtree |
String |
synchronous (advanced) |
Sets whether synchronous processing should be strictly used, or Camel is allowed to use asynchronous processing (if supported). |
false |
boolean |
Spring Boot Auto-Configuration
When using Spring Boot make sure to use the following Maven dependency to have support for auto configuration:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
<artifactId>camel-ldap-starter</artifactId>
<version>x.x.x</version>
<!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>
The component supports 2 options, which are listed below.
Name | Description | Default | Type |
---|---|---|---|
camel.component.ldap.enabled |
Enable ldap component |
true |
Boolean |
camel.component.ldap.resolve-property-placeholders |
Whether the component should resolve property placeholders on itself when starting. Only properties which are of String type can use property placeholders. |
true |
Boolean |
Result
The result is returned in the Out body as a
ArrayList<javax.naming.directory.SearchResult>
object.
DirContext
The URI, ldap:ldapserver
, references a Spring bean with the ID,
ldapserver
. The ldapserver
bean may be defined as follows:
<bean id="ldapserver" class="javax.naming.directory.InitialDirContext" scope="prototype">
<constructor-arg>
<props>
<prop key="java.naming.factory.initial">com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory</prop>
<prop key="java.naming.provider.url">ldap://localhost:10389</prop>
<prop key="java.naming.security.authentication">none</prop>
</props>
</constructor-arg>
</bean>
The preceding example declares a regular Sun based LDAP DirContext
that connects anonymously to a locally hosted LDAP server.
DirContext objects are not required to support concurrency by
contract. It is therefore important that the directory context is
declared with the setting, scope="prototype" , in the bean definition
or that the context supports concurrency. In the Spring framework,
prototype scoped objects are instantiated each time they are looked
up.

Samples
Following on from the Spring configuration above, the code sample below sends an LDAP request to filter search a group for a member. The Common Name is then extracted from the response.
ProducerTemplate<Exchange> template = exchange
.getContext().createProducerTemplate();
Collection<?> results = (Collection<?>) (template
.sendBody(
"ldap:ldapserver?base=ou=mygroup,ou=groups,ou=system",
"(member=uid=huntc,ou=users,ou=system)"));
if (results.size() > 0) {
// Extract what we need from the device's profile
Iterator<?> resultIter = results.iterator();
SearchResult searchResult = (SearchResult) resultIter
.next();
Attributes attributes = searchResult
.getAttributes();
Attribute deviceCNAttr = attributes.get("cn");
String deviceCN = (String) deviceCNAttr.get();
...
If no specific filter is required - for example, you just need to look up a single entry - specify a wildcard filter expression. For example, if the LDAP entry has a Common Name, use a filter expression like:
(cn=*)
Binding using credentials
A Camel end user donated this sample code he used to bind to the ldap server using credentials.
Properties props = new Properties();
props.setProperty(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory");
props.setProperty(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "ldap://localhost:389");
props.setProperty(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "com.sun.jndi.url");
props.setProperty(Context.REFERRAL, "ignore");
props.setProperty(Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION, "simple");
props.setProperty(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "cn=Manager");
props.setProperty(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "secret");
SimpleRegistry reg = new SimpleRegistry();
reg.put("myldap", new InitialLdapContext(props, null));
CamelContext context = new DefaultCamelContext(reg);
context.addRoutes(
new RouteBuilder() {
public void configure() throws Exception {
from("direct:start").to("ldap:myldap?base=ou=test");
}
}
);
context.start();
ProducerTemplate template = context.createProducerTemplate();
Endpoint endpoint = context.getEndpoint("direct:start");
Exchange exchange = endpoint.createExchange();
exchange.getIn().setBody("(uid=test)");
Exchange out = template.send(endpoint, exchange);
Collection<SearchResult> data = out.getOut().getBody(Collection.class);
assert data != null;
assert !data.isEmpty();
System.out.println(out.getOut().getBody());
context.stop();
Configuring SSL
All required is to create a custom socket factory and reference it in the InitialDirContext bean - see below sample.
