-----------------------------
Attachment: WIP-get-ldap-groups.diff
> Ability to utilise group information from a LDAP compatible directory
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: QPID-7116
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-7116
> Project: Qpid
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Java Broker
> Reporter: Keith Wall
> Fix For: qpid-java-6.1
>
> Attachments: WIP-get-ldap-groups.diff
>
>
> The Java Broker can already authenticate users against an LDAP compatible
> directory. It should also be able to use the same information source as a
> source of group information too.
> The authentication provide needs to accept optional attributes governing
> where the group information will be found:
> {{groupSearchContext}} - the base entry for the role search. If not
> specified, the search base is the top-level directory context.
> {{groupSearchFilter}} - the LDAP search filter for selecting group entries.
> A {0} token within the filter will be replaced by the distinguish name of the
> authenticated user.
> {{groupAttributeName}} - the name of the attribute that contains the name of
> the role.
> After the authentication provider has successfully bound (authenticated) the
> user, it should perform a second query for the groups. It should build a
> {{GroupPrincipal}} for each group to which the user belongs and return this
> as part of the AuthenticationResult. If the group search attributes are not
> found, the group search should be skipped.
> A future version if the LDAP Authentication Provider may offer the ability to
> cache the group results for a DN period of time. This would serve to avoid
> hitting the Directory several times authentication (it already hits the
> Directory twice if {{bindWithoutSearch}} is false, this will add a third).
