Active Directory configuration for loginmodule

[sandipan_s]

Hi,

I am connecting to Active Directory[AD] for user authentication from my loginmodule. But users in our AD do not have fixed DN.

EG.,
One user has
dn: CN=user1,OU=Automatic Updates,OU=Computer Accounts,DC=company,DC=com

While second user has
dn: CN=user2,CN=Computers,DC=company,DC=com

The only way i could think of autenticating user is by using his user name and pasword while making request. if bind is successful then user authenticated.
I am using DirContext for authentication
DirContext dir = new InitialDirContext(props); [here props is properties]

1. Can anyone tell me what i need todo if i dnt have fixed DN. Also, can you please share with me the ldap connection properties that needs to be set.

2. Where do i have to specify the connection username and connection password.

3. Can i specify filter condition while making request like the way we do in ldapsearch. If anyone can share there code - it will be helpful.

Thanks

i found the solution - the following is my configuration :

Properties props = new Properties();
props.setProperty(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, user.getUserName()+"@domain");
props.setProperty(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS,user.getPassword());
props.setProperty(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, contextFactory);
props.setProperty(Context.PROVIDER_URL, providerURL);
props.setProperty(Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION, securityAuth);
DirContext dir = new InitialDirContext(props);

Thanks
