public class LdapSender extends JndiBase implements ISenderWithParameters
Sender to obtain information from and write to an LDAP Directory. Returns the set of attributes in an XML format. Examples are shown below.

example

Consider the following configuration example: 
   <sender
        className="org.frankframework.ldap.LdapSender"
        ldapProviderURL="ldap://servername:389/o=ing"
        operation="read"
        attributesToReturn="givenName,sn,telephoneNumber" >
     <param name="entryName" xpathExpression="entryName" />
   </sender>

This may result in the following output: 
 <ldap>
        <entryName>uid=srp,ou=people</entryName>

        <attributes>
                <attribute attrID="givenName">
                        <value>Jan</value>
                </attribute>

                <attribute attrID="telephoneNumber">
                        <value>010 5131123</value>
                        <value>06 23456064</value>
                </attribute>

                <attribute attrID="sn">
                        <value>Jansen</value>
                </attribute>
        </attributes>
 </ldap>

Search or Read? Read retrieves all the attributes of the specified entry. Search retrieves all the entries of the specified (by entryName) context that have the specified attributes, together with the attributes. If the specified attributes are null or empty all the attributes of all the entries within the specified context are returned. Sample result of a read operation:
        <attributes>
            <attribute>
            <attribute name="employeeType" value="Extern"/>
            <attribute name="roomNumber" value="DP 2.13.025"/>
            <attribute name="departmentCode" value="358000"/>
            <attribute name="organizationalHierarchy">
                <item value="ou=ING-EUR,ou=Group,ou=Organization,o=ing"/>
                <item value="ou=OPS&IT,ou=NL,ou=ING-EUR,ou=Group,ou=Organization,o=ing"/>
                <item value="ou=000001,ou=OPS&IT,ou=NL,ou=ING-EUR,ou=Group,ou=Organization,o=ing"/>
            </attribute>
            <attribute name="givenName" value="Gerrit"/>
        </attributes>

Sample result of a search operation:
        <entries>
         <entry name="uid=srp">
           <attributes>
            <attribute>
            <attribute name="employeeType" value="Extern"/>
            <attribute name="roomNumber" value="DP 2.13.025"/>
            <attribute name="departmentCode" value="358000"/>
            <attribute name="organizationalHierarchy">
                <item value="ou=ING-EUR,ou=Group,ou=Organization,o=ing"/>
                <item value="ou=OPS&IT,ou=NL,ou=ING-EUR,ou=Group,ou=Organization,o=ing"/>
                <item value="ou=000001,ou=OPS&IT,ou=NL,ou=ING-EUR,ou=Group,ou=Organization,o=ing"/>
            </attribute>
            <attribute name="givenName" value="Gerrit"/>
           </attributes>
          </entry>
   <entry> .... </entry>
   .....
        </entries>

Specific parameters
entryName Represents entryName (RDN) of interest., filterExpression Filter expression (handy with searching - see RFC2254)., principal Will overwrite jndiAuthAlias, principal and credential attributes together with parameter credentials which is expected to be present too. This will also have the effect of usePooling being set to false and the LDAP connection being made at runtime only (skipped at configuration time)., credentials See parameter principal. It's advised to set attribute hidden to true for parameter credentials.

    • LdapSender

  • Method Details

    • configure

      public void configure() throws ConfigurationException
      Description copied from interface: ISender
      configure() is called once at startup of the framework in the configure method of the owner of this sender. Purpose of this method is to check whether the static configuration of the sender is correct. As much as possible class-instantiating should take place in the configure() or open() method, to improve performance.
      Specified by:
      configure in interface IConfigurable
      Specified by:
      configure in interface ISender
      Overrides:
      configure in class JndiBase
      Throws:
      ConfigurationException

    • storeLdapException

      public void storeLdapException(Throwable t, PipeLineSession session)

    • open

      public void open() throws SenderException
      Description copied from interface: ISender
      This method will be called to start the sender. After this method is called the sendMessage method may be called. Purpose of this method is to reduce creating connections to databases etc. in the sendMessage() method.
      Specified by:
      open in interface ISender
      Throws:
      SenderException

    • isSynchronous

      public boolean isSynchronous()
      Description copied from interface: ISender
      When true, the result of sendMessage is the reply of the request.
      Specified by:
      isSynchronous in interface ISender

    • performOperation

      public String performOperation(Message message, PipeLineSession session) throws SenderException, ParameterException
      Performs the specified operation and returns the results.
      Returns:
      - Depending on operation, DEFAULT_RESULT or read/search result (always XML)
      Throws:
      SenderException
      ParameterException

    • getSubContextList

      public String[] getSubContextList(DirContext parentContext, String relativeContext, PipeLineSession session)
      Return a list of all of the subcontexts of the current context, which is relative to parentContext.
      Returns:
      an array of Strings containing a list of the subcontexts for a current context.

    • sendMessage

      public SenderResult sendMessage(Message message, PipeLineSession session) throws SenderException, TimeoutException
      Description copied from interface: ISender
      Send a message to some destination (as configured in the Sender object). This method may only be called after the configure() method is called.

      The following table shows the difference between synchronous and a-synchronous senders:

       synchronousa-synchronous
      ISender.isSynchronous() returnstruefalse
      return value of sendMessage() isthe reply-messagethe messageId of the message sent
      the correlationID specified with sendMessage()may be ignoredis sent with the message
      a {link TimeOutException}may be thrown if a timeout occurs waiting for a replyshould not be expected

      Multiple objects may try to call this method at the same time, from different threads. Implementations of this method should therefore be thread-safe, or synchronized.

      Specified by:
      sendMessage in interface ISender
      Throws:
      SenderException
      TimeoutException

    • removeValuesFromAttributes
