Class LDAPRebindAuth

java.lang.Object
  netscape.ldap.LDAPRebindAuth

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class LDAPRebindAuth

extends Object

implements Serializable

Represents information used to authenticate the client in cases where the client follows referrals automatically. If you are defining a class that implements the LDAPRebind interface, your implementation of the LDAPRebind.getRebindAuthentication method needs to construct and return an object of this class.

For example, the following method sets up authentication information based on the LDAP server identified in the referral. Ideally, this method would be defined as part of a class implementing the LDAPRebind interface.

 private String myDN = "cn=myApp,ou=Directory Apps";
 private String myPW = "n3v3rgU355";
 private LDAPRebindAuth myRebindInfo;
 ...
 public LDAPRebindAuth getRebindAuthentication( String host, int port ) {
  if ( host.equalsIgnoreCase( "ds.example.com" ) && ( port == 389 ) ) {
      myRebindInfo = new LDAPRebindAuth( myDN, myPW );
  } else {
      myRebindInfo = new LDAPRebindAuth( "", "" );
  }
  return myRebindInfo;
 }
