LDAP Authentication

[Xavier]

Hello,

LDAP authentication is mentioned as thing in the dropwizard-auth manual, but I can't find an implementation of it. Has anyone done this before? I am going to build it if not.

Cheers,

Xavier

I had to jump through a few hoops to get it working with our LDAP layout, but this should be useful to people. Includes an example of fetching roles for a user.

(fair credit: I stole all the interesting bits from some other code I found lying around the office)

Excellent stuff!

We've got something very similar internally, but I figured most LDAP layouts are fairly company-specific, hence the lack of a default implementation.

Agreed, I think it makes sense not to provide a default. Hopefully
this thread will be indexed by google though :)

Gday Xavier

I have been meaning to pull together a module for LDAP Authentication for a while, your example has given me the kick i needed.

My implementation is very loosely based on your code as your example certainly matches my requirements (mostly) but I need a bit more configurability.

Once it is complete I would love it if you could have a look over it once I push it up onto github.

Thanks for sharing btw.
