LDAP - DataSource Equivalent

[routis]

I want to use an LdapDao that runs within web application deployed on a clustered environment.

My problem is that I don't want to deploy the credentials of the LDAP server using properties files.

Is there an equivalent of jdbc DataSource? That is a ldap connection factory that can be looked up from jndi.

The equivalent would be ContextSource, and that is what you would store in jndi. Maybe this thread will be helpful to you?
