Configuration

The following table lists all the configuration properties you can specify when setting up the LDAP connector:

 


Configuration PropertyRequiredTypeDefault ValueDescription
hostXString
 

LDAP server on which to connect
port
 

int389TCP port on which to connect
ssl
 

booleanfalseConnect using SSL
failover
 

String
 

An array of LDAP URLs specifying failover servers. If the connector cannot make a connection to the server specified in the host property, it will try connecting to these failover servers in the specified order.
principal
 

String
 

Distinguished name (DN) of the LDAP entry under to perform provisioning operations
credentials
 

GuardedString?
 

Password corresponding to the entry specified in the principal property
baseContextsXString
 

Base context DNs for provisioning operations. The connector ignores any entries outside these base contexts.
passwordAttribute
 

String"userPassword"Name of the LDAP attribute that holds the LDAP entry's password. This attribute is read and modified by password-change operations.
accountObjectClasses
 

String{ "top", 
"person", 
"organizationalPerson",
"inetOrgPerson" }
Object classes to which the ACCOUNT object class is mapped.
accountUserNameAttributes
 

String{ "cn", "uid" }LDAP attributes to which the authentication user names are mapped. The connector uses this property search for the LDAP entry corresponding to the user name that is passed to an authentication operation.
accountSearchFilter
 

String
 

LDAP search filter for accounts. When searching for accounts, the connector only considers those accounts that match the specified filter.
groupMemberAttribute
 

String"uniqueMember"LDAP attribute that holds the member of LDAP static groups
groupObjectClasses
 

String{"top", "groupOfUniqueNames"}The group class or classes that will be used when creating new group objects in the LDAP tree.
groupNameAttributes
 

String{"cn"}

Attribute or attributes which holds the group's name.

groupSearchFilter
 

String
 

LDAP Filter for Retrieving Groups.

maintainLdapGroupMembership
 

booleanfalseMaintain LDAP group membership when renaming or deleting entries
maintainPosixGroupMembership
 

booleanfalseMaintain POSIX group membership when renaming or deleting entries
passwordHashAlgorithm
 

String
 

Algorithm used to hash passwords. Valid values are "SHA", "SSHA", "MD5", and "SMD5". If you specify "SSHA" or "SMD5", the connector appends a random salt value to the password value before hashing.
respectResourcePasswordPolicyChangeAfterReset
 

booleanfalseCheck for the Password Expired and Password Policy controls when binding
useBlocks
 

booleantrueUse a block-based control for search operations, such as the Simple Paged Results or the Virtual List View (VLV) Index controls
blockSize
 

int100Block size to use with block-based controls. This property is meaningful only when theuseBlocks property is true.
usePagedResultControl
 

booleanfalseUse the Simple Paged Results control for search operations. 

If false, the connector uses VLV Index control. This property is meaningful only when theuseBlocks property is true.
vlvSortAttribute
 

String"uid"LDAP attribute to use as the sort key when you are using the VLV Index control. This property is meaningful only when the useBlocks property is true and theusePagedResultControl property is false.
uidAttribute
 

String"entryUUID"LDAP attribute to use as the Uid connector attribute value
readSchema
 

booleantrueIf true, the connector will read the schema from the server. If false, the connector will provide a default schema based on the object classes in the configuration. This property must be true in order to use extended object classes.
baseContextsToSynchronize
 

String
 

Base context DNs to use for synchronization. The connector ignores any changes outside of these base contexts.
objectClassesToSynchronize
 

String"inetOrgPerson"LDAP object classes to synchronize. The connector ignores any changes if it cannot find any of the modified entry's object classes in this property.
attributesToSynchronize
 

String
 

LDAP attributes to synchronize. The connector ignores changes to any LDAP attributes that are not specified in this property.
modifiersNamesToFilterOut
 

String
 

Modifier DNs to filter out for synchronization. The connector ignores any changes made by an entry specified in this property.
accountSynchronizationFilter
 

String
 

LDAP search filter used to filter out accounts from synchronization. The connector ignores changes to any accounts that do not match the filter specified in this property.
changeLogBlockSize
 

int100Block size to use when reading changes from the change log
changeNumberAttribute
 

String"changeNumber"LDAP attribute that holds the change number name in change log entries
filterWithOrInsteadOfAnd
 

booleanfalseUse an and filter instead of an or filter when searching for change log entries
removeLogEntryObjectClassFromFilter
 

booleantrueRemove the condition that tests whether the object class of the change log entries ischangeLogEntry from the filter used to search for entries in the change log
synchronizePasswords
 

booleanfalseSynchronize passwords during synchronization. This property is only supported with Sun
Directory Server Enterprise Edition
/ Oracle DSEE, RedHat 389 and OpenDS / OpenDJ.
passwordAttributeToSynchronize
 

String
 

LDAP attribute used to synchronize during password synchronization. This property is meaningful only when the synchronizePasswords property is true.
passwordDecryptionKey
 

GuardedByteArray
 

Decryption key used to decrypt passwords during password synchronization. This property is meaningful only when the synchronizePasswords property is true.
passwordDecryptionInitializationVector
 

GuardedByteArray
 

Initialization key used when decrypting passwords during password synchronization. This property is meaningful only when the synchronizePasswords property is true.
statusManagementClass
 

String
 

Java class to be used to enable/disable identities.

Any custom implementation must extend org.identityconnectors.ldap.commons.StatusManagement in order to implement all the required methods to manage enable/disable requests.

A couple of convenience implementations are provided:

  1. org.connid.bundles.ldap.commons.AttributeStatusManagement (< 1.4.0) / net.tirasa.connid.bundles.ldap.commons.AttributeStatusManagement (>= 1.4.0)
    Uses the description attribute for storing Active / Inactive values; this is basically a sample class, meant for subclassing.
  2. org.connid.bundles.ldap.commons.NSStatusManagement (< 1.4.0) / net.tirasa.connid.bundles.ldap.commons.NSStatusManagement (>= 1.4.0)
    Works on the nsAccountLock attribute; this is ready for usage with RedHat / Fedora 389 and Oracle DSEE.
retrievePasswordsWithSearch
 

booleanfalseWhether to retrieve passwords when searching.

...


Schema

The LDAP connector supports the following objectclasses:

  • ACCOUNT objectclass: Mapped to the LDAP objectclasses specified in the accountObjectClasses configuration property. This objectclass has the following attributes:

 


Attribute NameDescription
UIDAccount unique id. Mapped to the LDAP attribute specified by uidAttribute configuration property.
NAMEDN of the LDAP entry.
PASSWORDAccount password.

 


  • GROUP objectclass: Mapped to the LDAP objectclass groupOfUniqueNames. This objectclass has the following attributes:

 


Attribute NameDescription
UIDGroup unique id. Mapped to the LDAP attribute specified by uidAttribute configuration property.
NAMEDN of the LDAP entry.

...


Note:

The schema contents are not related to the connector's ability to handle LDAP objectclasses and attributes. Although LDAP objectclasses are not exposed as connector objectclasses, the connector can create, modify, etc., objects of any objectclass supported by the LDAP server.
