LDAP with Grails

[Srinivasa Kadiyala]

I am trying to authenticate using LDAP. I have tried to implement the way it is described in GRAILS.
http://grails.org/plugin/ldap
It is not working for me.


Appreciate inputs.

Dear All


First of all regret for lack of information to the experts trying to help me.

Files BootStrap.grrovy in config folder:

   
import java.security.MessageDigest
import gldapo.Gldapo
import org.codehaus.groovy.grails.commons.ConfigurationHolder


class BootStrap {

     def init = { servletContext ->
     }
     def destroy = {
     }
     def ldapConfiguration = {ctx ->
	        println "LDAP SERVICE INITIALIZATION..."
	        Gldapo.initialize(application.config.ldap3)
	        println "Gldapo.instance.directories: ${Gldapo.instance.directories}"
	        println "Gldapo.instance.schemas: ${Gldapo.instance.schemas}"
	    }
} 

 

Config.groovy in Config folder:

// locations to search for config files that get merged into the main config
// config files can either be Java properties files or ConfigSlurper scripts

// grails.config.locations = [ "classpath:${appName}-config.properties",

    active = true
    loginUserDomainClass = "User"
    authorityDomainClass = "Role"
    requestMapClass = "Requestmap"

    Gldapo.initialize(new URL('file:/Config.groovy'));

    

}

FYI....I am using Grails 1.1.1 / Groovy 1.6 with Netbeans 6.7 IDE

Dear All

Appreciate some help.

Thanks

[Dave Klein]

I know this isn't much help, but you might want to post this question on the Grails mailing list http://www.grails.org/Mailing+lists

The guy who created Gldapo, Luke Daley is pretty active there.

Thanks Dave. I have sent an e-mail to user mailing list giving a link to Java Ranch forum.

Hoping to get some help.

Thanks
