Example on using ldap authentication for apache http client to make rest api calls

[Rajesh Kohir]

Hi,

Can any one give example on how to configure apache http client to use ldap authentication instead of Basic authentication.

For basic authentication,following is the code.

HttpClient client = HttpClientBuilder.create().build();

HttpGet get = new HttpGet(get_taskStatus_url);

String authData = userName + ":" + userName;

String encoded = new sun.misc.BASE64Encoder().encode(authData

.getBytes());

get.setHeader("Content-Type", "application/xml");

get.setHeader("Authorization", "Basic " + encoded);

get.setHeader("ACCEPT", "application/xml");

HttpResponse cgResponse = client.execute(get);

what changes i need to make in oder to make ldap authentication instead of basic authentication.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

thanks
