LDAP Authentication using Java

Question

I need to do LDAP Authentication for an application   I tried the following program   import java util Hashtable     import javax naming Context    import javax naming NamingException    import javax naming ldap InitialLdapContext    import javax naming ldap LdapContext      public class LdapContextCreation         public static void main String   args              LdapContextCreation ldapContxCrtn   new LdapContextCreation              LdapContext ctx   ldapContxCrtn getLdapContext                  public LdapContext getLdapContext              LdapContext ctx   null            try                Hashtable env   new Hashtable                  env put Context INITIAL CONTEXT FACTORY    com sun jndi ldap LdapCtxFactory                  env put Context SECURITY AUTHENTICATION   Simple                    it can be  lt domain  userid gt  something that you use for windows login                 it can also be               env put Context SECURITY PRINCIPAL   username domain com                  env put Context SECURITY CREDENTIALS   password                    in following property we specify ldap protocol and connection url                  generally the port is 389               env put Context PROVIDER URL   ldap   server domain com                  ctx   new InitialLdapContext env  null                 System out println  Connection Successful                catch NamingException nex                 System out println  LDAP Connection  FAILED                  nex printStackTrace                          return ctx                 Getting following exception    LDAP Connection  FAILED javax naming AuthenticationException   LDAP  error code 49 - Invalid Credentials      at com sun jndi ldap LdapCtx mapErrorCode LdapCtx java 3053      at com sun jndi ldap LdapCtx processReturnCode LdapCtx java 2999      at com sun jndi ldap LdapCtx processReturnCode LdapCtx java 2801      at com sun jndi ldap LdapCtx connect LdapCtx java 2715      at com sun jndi ldap LdapCtx  LdapCtx java 305      at com sun jndi ldap LdapCtxFactory getUsingURL LdapCtxFactory java 187      at com sun jndi ldap LdapCtxFactory getUsingURLs LdapCtxFactory java 205      at com sun jndi ldap LdapCtxFactory getLdapCtxInstance LdapCtxFactory java 148      at com sun jndi ldap LdapCtxFactory getInitialContext LdapCtxFactory java 78      at javax naming spi NamingManager getInitialContext NamingManager java 235      at javax naming InitialContext initializeDefaultInitCtx InitialContext java 318      at javax naming InitialContext getDefaultInitCtx InitialContext java 348      at javax naming InitialContext internalInit InitialContext java 286      at javax naming InitialContext init InitialContext java 308      at javax naming ldap InitialLdapContext  InitialLdapContext java 99      at LdapContextCreation getLdapContext LdapContextCreation java 27      at LdapContextCreation main LdapContextCreation java 12    Few more points to consider    Earlier I was using tomcat 5 3 5 but somebody told me that only tomcat 6 supports it so I downloaded tomcat 6 0 35 and currently using this version only  Configured server xml and added the following code -   lt Realm className  org apache catalina realm JNDIRealm                      debug  99                      connectionURL  ldap   server domain com 389                        userPattern   0     gt   Commented the following code from server xml -   lt  -- Commenting for LDAP    lt Realm className  org apache catalina realm UserDatabaseRealm       resourceName  UserDatabase   gt  -- gt   Steps 2 and 3 from article  Someone suggested that there are some jar files that are supposed to be copied to tomcat in order to run ldap authentication  is that something I need to do  And which jar files  Also  I am using the correct credentials for sure  then what is causing this issue  Is there a way I can figure out the correct attributes for LDAP in case I am using incorrect ones

This is my LDAP Java login test application supporting LDAP    and LDAPS    self-signed test certificate  Code is taken from few SO posts  simplified implementation and removed legacy sun java   imports    how to accept self-signed certificates for JNDI LDAP connections  Authenticating against Active Directory with Java on Linux   Usage I have run this in Windows7 and Linux machines against WinAD directory service  Application prints username and member groups        java -cp classes test LoginLDAP url ldap   1 2 3 4 389  username myname company fi   password mypwd        java -cp classes test LoginLDAP url ldaps   1 2 3 4 636 username myname company fi   password mypwd   Test application supports temporary self-signed test certificates for ldaps    protocol  this DummySSLFactory accepts any server cert so man-in-the-middle is possible  Real life installation should import server certificate to a local JKS keystore file and not using dummy factory   Application uses enduser s username password for initial context and ldap queries  it works for WinAD but don t know if can be used for all ldap server implementations  You could create context with internal username pwd then run queries to see if given enduser is found   LoginLDAP java  package test   import java util    import javax naming    import javax naming directory     public class LoginLDAP

Following Code authenticates from LDAP using pure Java JNDI  The Principle is -   First Lookup the user using a admin or DN user   The user object needs to be passed to LDAP again with the user credential  No Exception means  - Authenticated Successfully  Else Authentication Failed    Code Snippet  public static boolean authenticateJndi String username  String password  throws Exception      Properties props   new Properties        props put Context INITIAL CONTEXT FACTORY   com sun jndi ldap LdapCtxFactory        props put Context PROVIDER URL   ldap   LDAPSERVER PORT        props put Context SECURITY PRINCIPAL   uid adminuser ou special users o xx com     adminuser - User with special priviledge  dn user     props put Context SECURITY CREDENTIALS   adminpassword     dn user password       InitialDirContext context   new InitialDirContext props        SearchControls ctrls   new SearchControls        ctrls setReturningAttributes new String      givenName    sn   memberOf          ctrls setSearchScope SearchControls SUBTREE SCOPE        NamingEnumeration lt javax naming directory SearchResult gt  answers   context search  o xx com     uid     username        ctrls       javax naming directory SearchResult result   answers nextElement         String user   result getNameInNamespace         try           props   new Properties            props put Context INITIAL CONTEXT FACTORY   com sun jndi ldap LdapCtxFactory            props put Context PROVIDER URL   ldap   LDAPSERVER PORT            props put Context SECURITY PRINCIPAL  user           props put Context SECURITY CREDENTIALS  password       context   new InitialDirContext props         catch  Exception e            return false            return true
