ApacheDS 1.5.7 - SASL Configuration - ldap

Question

I currently try to setup an ApacheDS instance to test SASL mechanisms.
Anyone out there that managed to get SASL in ApacheDS to work?
I am looking for a working setup instruction for ApacheDS 1.5.7 and a confirmation of that this works in practice...

Answer 1

1.5.7 has support for SASL but I would suggest you try the latest release of version 2.0 M2.
(1.5.7 is very old and we may not support you in case of some issues)

Answer 2

Well I made a test Spring App in order to do authentication of users.. I am not sure if this is what you want, but I will post the solution anyway. (this post is a little bit late.. but)
Like I said I used spring, spring security and apacheDS.
spring-security.xml
<!-- This is where we configure Spring-Security -->
<security:http auto-config="true" use-expressions="true" access-denied-page="/app/denied" >
<security:intercept-url pattern="/app/login" access="permitAll"/>
<security:intercept-url pattern="/app/admin" access="hasRole('ROLE_ADMIN')"/>
<security:intercept-url pattern="/app/common" access="hasRole('ROLE_USER')"/>
<security:form-login
login-page="/app/login"
authentication-failure-url="/app/login?error=true"
default-target-url="/app/common"/>
<security:logout
invalidate-session="true"
logout-success-url="/app/login"
logout-url="/app/logout"/>
</security:http>
<security:authentication-manager>
<security:ldap-authentication-provider
user-search-filter="(uid={0})"
user-search-base="ou=users"
group-search-filter="(uniqueMember={0})"
group-search-base="ou=groups"
group-role-attribute="cn"
role-prefix="ROLE_">
</security:ldap-authentication-provider>
</security:authentication-manager>
<security:ldap-server url="ldap://localhost:10389/o=test" manager-dn="uid=admin,ou=system" manager-password="secret" />
</beans>
And this is the wep.xml
<web-app version="2.5"
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"

</web-app>
And In apache DS I made a simple structure of users and group of users (admin/user).
That is it! If you dont understand something in the code just let me know and I will try to help..
