             Summary: Support StartTLS in LDAPAuthentication
                 Key: DS-1518
                 URL: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1518
             Project: DSpace
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: DSpace API
    Affects Versions: 3.0
            Reporter: Ivan Masár
            Priority: Major
             Fix For: 4.0


The LDAPAuthentication authentication method doesn't support the StartTLS 
extension, which lets DSpace communicate with the LDAP server over a standard 
TLS-secured channel.

Please note that this is a different form of communication from LDAPS, which is 
supported. LDAPS is a separate protocol on port 636, while LDAP over TLS is on 
standard LDAP port 389.

The LDAPAuthentication class is here:
https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/dspace-3_x/dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/authenticate/LDAPAuthentication.java

An example of how to implement StartTLS is here:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/jndi/tutorial/ldap/ext/starttls.html

StartTLS should be an optional boolean parameter in 
[dspace]/config/modules/authentication-ldap.conf
