How configure LDAP in JBoss 5.0.1 as

[dew]

Hello,

I am new in JBoss I need help with configuration LDAP in Jboss.

I found I can do this via jboss-service.xml file:

<!-- Bind a remote LDAP server -->
<mbean code="org.jboss.naming.ExternalContext"
       name="jboss.jndi:service=ExternalContext,jndiName=external/ldap/jboss">
    <attribute name="JndiName">external/ldap/jboss</attribute>
    <attribute name="Properties">
        java.naming.factory.initial=com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory
        java.naming.provider.url=ldap://ldaphost.jboss.org:389/o=jboss.org
        java.naming.security.principal=cn=Directory Manager
        java.naming.security.authentication=simple
        java.naming.security.credentials=secret
    </attribute>
    <attribute name="InitialContext"> javax.naming.ldap.InitialLdapContext </attribute>
    <attribute name="RemoteAccess">true</attribute>
</mbean>

Can I do it better way? How could I use it? Test it?

thx

Are you connecting to LDAP to do user authentication, or are you just using LDAP for network/system/user information? If for authentication then this earlier discussion might help:
