Ldap plug-in

jitendra_chit · August 10, 2007, 11:15am

Is it possible to write a plug-in in wildfire 3.1.1 to fetch the data from LDAP.

Scenario

When an user sends a specific request to wildfire
Wildfire’s Plugin will fetch the required information from LDAP & will prepare a XML packet and send it to user.

Please let me know if above is possible with the wildfire 3.1.1 / openfire latest version.

Regards,

Jitendra

Yes it is. In fact, I just wrote a replacement user search plugin that does just that.

Its prety simple, really. Just request the ldap context from the LdapManager:

LdapManager ldapManager = LdapManager.getInstance();
LdapContext ctx = ldapManager.getContext();
//do stuff with ctx
