Constructor Detail

LDAPUser

public LDAPUser(org.apache.lenya.ac.ItemManager itemManager,
                org.apache.avalon.framework.logger.Logger logger)

Creates a new LDAPUser object.

Parameters:

itemManager - The item manager.

logger - The logger.

LDAPUser

public LDAPUser(org.apache.lenya.ac.ItemManager itemManager,
                org.apache.avalon.framework.logger.Logger logger,
                java.lang.String id,
                java.lang.String email,
                java.lang.String _ldapId,
                org.apache.avalon.framework.logger.Logger _logger)
         throws org.apache.avalon.framework.configuration.ConfigurationException

Create an LDAPUser

Parameters:

itemManager - The item manager.

logger - The logger.

id - user id of LDAPUser

email - of LDAPUser

_ldapId - of LDAPUser

_logger - The logger.

Throws:

org.apache.avalon.framework.configuration.ConfigurationException - if the properties could not be read

Method Detail

configure

public void configure(org.apache.avalon.framework.configuration.Configuration config)
               throws org.apache.avalon.framework.configuration.ConfigurationException

Create a new LDAPUser from a configuration

Specified by:

configure in interface org.apache.lenya.ac.Item

Overrides:

configure in class org.apache.lenya.ac.file.FileUser

Parameters:

config - the Configuration specifying the user details

Throws:

org.apache.avalon.framework.configuration.ConfigurationException - if the user could not be instantiated

existsUser

public boolean existsUser(java.lang.String _ldapId)
                   throws org.apache.lenya.ac.AccessControlException

Checks if a user exists.

Parameters:

_ldapId - The LDAP id.

Returns:

A boolean value indicating whether the user is found in the directory

Throws:

org.apache.lenya.ac.AccessControlException - when an error occurs.

initialize

protected void initialize()
                   throws org.apache.avalon.framework.configuration.ConfigurationException

Initializes this user. The current (already authenticated) ldapId is queried in the directory, in order to retrieve additional information, such as the user name. In current implementation, only the user name is actually retrieved, but other attributes may be used in the future (such as groups ?) TODO: should the code be changed to not throw an exception when something goes wrong ? After all, it's only used to get additional info for display? This is a design decision, I'm not sure what's best.

Throws:

org.apache.avalon.framework.configuration.ConfigurationException - when something went wrong.

createConfiguration

protected org.apache.avalon.framework.configuration.Configuration createConfiguration()

Overrides:

createConfiguration in class org.apache.lenya.ac.file.FileUser

See Also:

FileUser.createConfiguration()

getLdapId

public java.lang.String getLdapId()

Get the ldap id

Returns:

the ldap id

setLdapId

public void setLdapId(java.lang.String string)

Set the ldap id

Parameters:

string - the new ldap id

authenticate

public boolean authenticate(java.lang.String password)

Authenticate a user against the directory. The principal to be authenticated is either constructed by use of the configured properties, or by lookup of this ID in the directory. This principal then attempts to authenticate against the directory with the provided password.

Specified by:

authenticate in interface org.apache.lenya.ac.User

Overrides:

authenticate in class org.apache.lenya.ac.impl.AbstractUser

See Also:

User.authenticate(java.lang.String)

getName

public java.lang.String getName()

Specified by:

getName in interface org.apache.lenya.ac.Item

Overrides:

getName in class org.apache.lenya.ac.impl.AbstractItem

See Also:

Item.getName()

setName

public void setName(java.lang.String string)

LDAP Users fetch their name information from the LDAP server, so we don't store it locally. Since we only have read access we basically can't set the name, i.e. any request to change the name is ignored.

Specified by:

setName in interface org.apache.lenya.ac.Item

Overrides:

setName in class org.apache.lenya.ac.impl.AbstractItem

Parameters:

string - is ignored

setPassword

public void setPassword(java.lang.String plainTextPassword)

The LDAPUser doesn't store any passwords as they are handled by LDAP

Specified by:

setPassword in interface org.apache.lenya.ac.User

Overrides:

setPassword in class org.apache.lenya.ac.impl.AbstractUser

Parameters:

plainTextPassword - is ignored

setEncryptedPassword

protected void setEncryptedPassword(java.lang.String encryptedPassword)

The LDAPUser doesn't store any passwords as they are handled by LDAP

Overrides:

setEncryptedPassword in class org.apache.lenya.ac.impl.AbstractUser

Parameters:

encryptedPassword - is ignored

canChangePassword

public boolean canChangePassword()

The LDAPUser doesn't change any passwords as they are handled by LDAP

Specified by:

canChangePassword in interface org.apache.lenya.ac.User

Overrides:

canChangePassword in class org.apache.lenya.ac.impl.AbstractUser

Returns:

always returns false
