Stefan Seelmann commented on DIRSTUDIO-356:
-------------------------------------------
I would suggest we use "X-" extensions, as defined in RFC2255, for all the
parameters beside host and port.
The URL would then look like this:
ldap://host:port/????extensions
Here are the possible extensions:
X-CONNECTION-NAME=<conection name> - current date if absent
X-ENCRYPTION=[none|ldaps|StartTLS] - none if other or absent
X-AUTH-METHOD=[Anonymous|Simple|DIGEST-MD5|CRAM-MD5] - Simple if other or
absent AND X-BIND-USER is present, else Anonymous
X-BIND-USER=<DN or Username> - none if empty or absent
X-BIND-PASSWORD=<password> - none if empty or absent
X-SASL-REALM=<SASL-Realm> - none if empty or absent
X-BASE-DN=<Base DN> - get from Root DSE if empty or absent
X-COUNT-LIMIT=<count limit> - 1000 if non-numeric or absent
X-TIME-LIMIT=<time limit> - 0 if non-numeric or absent
X-ALIAS-HANDLING=[NEVER|SEARCHING|FINDING|ALWAYS] - ALWAYS if other or absent
X-REFERRAL-HANDLING=[FOLLOW|IGNORE|MANAGE] - FOLLOW if other of absent
Thanks to our LdapURL class it should be easy to implement this, URL-encoding
of the values is handled by this class.
Here is an example URL:
ldap://localhost:10389/????X-BIND-USER=uid=admin%2cou=system,X-CONNECTION-NAME=Apache%20DS,X-BIND-PASSWORD=secret
RFC2255 includes an extension "bindname", however I would suggest we only use
private "X-" extensions for all parameters.
An open question is if we should add the X-BIND-PASSWORD, when copy/paste the
URL?
Thought?

> It would be very interesting to be able to get the connection configuration

> For instance,
> LDAP://<connection-name>@<ldap server
> host>:<port>/security=TLS?bindDN=uid=admin,ou=system?...(other parameters)
> The URL syntax has to be defined, of course
