Embedded ldap connention refused

[Himanshu Jain]

Hi
Do i need any additional configuration to setup embedded ldap, I have following dependency in my pom.xml

<dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.ldap</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-ldap-core</artifactId>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.security</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-security-ldap</artifactId>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.unboundid</groupId>
            <artifactId>unboundid-ldapsdk</artifactId>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.security</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-security-test</artifactId>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>

Also in application properties file

spring.ldap.embedded.ldif=classpath:test-data.ldif
spring.ldap.embedded.base-dn=ou=users,dc=cluster,dc=local
spring.ldap.embedded.port=8389
spring.ldap.embedded.url=ldap://localhost:8389/

But while running test i am getting connection refused.

org.springframework.ldap.CommunicationException: localhost:8389; nested exception is javax.naming.CommunicationException: localhost:8389 [Root exception is java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused]

I noticed in the guide that the @EnableWebSecurity annotation was missing from WebSecurityConfig.java. Maybe this is your issue.

[Petros Stergioulas]

@djnoddyp I added the annotation, still doesnt work.

I am having the same issue.

@MadKeys I resolved it by adding all my security configurations in my configuration class.. I don't why this happens.. below is the configuration I have for the ldap auth..
`
@configuration
@Profile("DEV_STANDALONE_H2_TEST_LDAP")
public class TestApplicationSecurityConfigurationHolder {
private static final Logger LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger(TestApplicationSecurityConfigurationHolder.class);

@EnableGlobalAuthentication
@Profile("DEV_STANDALONE_H2_TEST_LDAP")
public static class AuthConfigure {

    @Autowired
    protected void configureGlobal(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
        LOG.info("#################");
        LOG.info("TEST");
        LOG.info("configuring ldap authenticaton");
        LOG.info("#################");

        auth
                .ldapAuthentication()
                .userDetailsContextMapper(ldapUserContextMapper())
                .contextSource(contextSource())
                .userDnPatterns("cn={0},ou=people")
                .groupSearchBase("ou=groups")
                .passwordCompare()
                .passwordEncoder(new PlaintextPasswordEncoder())
                .passwordAttribute("userPassword");
    }

    @Bean
    public DefaultSpringSecurityContextSource contextSource() {
        LOG.info("configuring embedded LDAP context source");
        DefaultSpringSecurityContextSource contextSource = new DefaultSpringSecurityContextSource(
                Arrays.asList("ldap://localhost:8389/"), "dc=springframework,dc=org");
        contextSource.afterPropertiesSet();
        return contextSource;
    }

    @Bean
    public LdapTemplate ldapTemplate(){
        return new LdapTemplate(contextSource());
    }

    @Bean
    public UserDetailsContextMapper ldapUserContextMapper() {
        return new AccountLdapContextMapper();
    }
}

}`
The UserDetailsContextMapper is to map the ldap user and then give him permission or do anything with him after he logs in.. (I do not think it 's important, I just had to explain it)

Same problem here, any solutions?

I was able to get mine to work by adding the ComponentScan annotation and pointing it to the package that contains my WebConfig file.

@SpringBootApplication

@ComponentScan("com.xxx")

public class StoreManager extends SpringBootServletInitializer { ...

Worked for me after adding
compile("org.springframework:spring-tx") compile("com.unboundid:unboundid-ldapsdk")
to the build.gradle file

[Michael Low]

Works for me with additional changes as below:

application.properties
spring.ldap.embedded.base-dn=dc=springframework,dc=org spring.ldap.embedded.ldif=classpath:test-server.ldif spring.ldap.embedded.port=8389 spring.ldap.embedded.url=ldap://localhost:8389/

[Dave McLure]

It only seems to work when I use (1):
spring.ldap.embedded.ldif=classpath:test-server.ldif

If I use anything else, such as (2):
spring.ldap.embedded.ldif=src/main/resources/test-server.ldif

much less an external directory such as (3):
spring.ldap.embedded.ldif=/usr/local/clo/app/authserver/test-server.ldif

or even just the default project directory (4):
spring.ldap.embedded.ldif=test-server.ldif

None of these other options work - only option 1.

Works for me with additional changes as below:

application.properties
spring.ldap.embedded.base-dn=dc=springframework,dc=org spring.ldap.embedded.ldif=classpath:test-server.ldif spring.ldap.embedded.port=8389 spring.ldap.embedded.url=ldap://localhost:8389/

@michaellow thanks for sharing, worked for me as well with this configuration

[Dave Syer]

It all works for me out of the box. All the changes suggested are already in the complete sample. Maybe if you have an issue check your maven/gradle caches for bad jars.

@dav0 if you want to use a file location for a resource you have to use the file: prefix (default is classpath).

[manojprasad11]

worked for me - out of the box as the changes in the complete example.
However in my initial project i was initially getting this error - i found that the resources folder did not have the two files - application.properties and test-server.ldif
when i copied the two files in the initial - it worked

Try this:
spring.ldap.embedded.ldif=file:///usr/local/clo/app/authserver/test-server.ldif

[Piter80]

add in application.properties

spring.ldap.embedded.ldif=classpath:test-server.ldif
spring.ldap.embedded.base-dn=dc=springframework,dc=org
spring.ldap.embedded.port=8389

[mbnetspi]

This does not work if you have different version of spring dependencies.
just do not mess up with dependencies demo app works as is.

[yangxingyue0623]

它似乎只在我使用（1）时起作用： spring.ldap.embedded.ldif=classpath:test-server.ldif

如果我使用其他任何东西，例如（2）： spring.ldap.embedded.ldif=src/main/resources/test-server.ldif

更不用说外部目录，例如 (3)： spring.ldap.embedded.ldif=/usr/local/clo/app/authserver/test-server.ldif

甚至只是默认项目目录 (4)： spring.ldap.embedded.ldif=test-server.ldif

这些其他选项都不起作用 - 只有选项 1。

have you solve the question ? I have the same question like you

[yangxingyue0623]

I want to konwn have you final solve the question? And how do you do it ?

[Asif Kamal]

Assuming you are following this guide (https://spring.io/guides/gs/authenticating-ldap/) and made your project with spring initializer, please check the dependency unboundid-ldapsdk. If there is scope Test remove it.
