LDAP authentication: how to set PasswordAttributeName?

[CN Yee]

Hi,

I am trying to do LDAP authentication, but the password attribute in LDAP is "userPassword".

How do I configure this in spring security?

I was trying to provide a UserDetailMapper as in the following codes, but then I realized that the setUserDetailsMapper is removed from AbstractLDAPAuthenticator, which BindAuthenticator inheres.

Many thanks in advance,
Yee

<beans:bean id="userDetailsMapper" 
class="org.springframework.security.userdetails.ldap.LdapUserDetailsMapper">
	<beans:property name="passwordAttributeName">
		<beans:value>userPassword</beans:value>
	</beans:property>
</beans:bean>

<beans:bean id="bindAuthenticator" 
class="org.springframework.security.providers.ldap.authenticator.BindAuthenticator">
	<beans:constructor-arg ref="myLdapServer" />
	<beans:property name="userDnPatterns">
		<beans:list>
			<beans:value>cn={0},o=SSM</beans:value>
		</beans:list>
	</beans:property>
	<beans:property name="userDetailsMapper" ref="userDetailsMapper" />
</beans:bean>

<beans:bean id="adminLdapAuthProvider"
		class="org.springframework.security.providers.ldap.LdapAuthenticationProvider">
	<custom-authentication-provider />
	<beans:constructor-arg ref="bindAuthenticator" />
	<beans:constructor-arg>
		<beans:bean class="mypackage.MyAuthoritiesPopulator" />
		</beans:constructor-arg>
</beans:bean>

The UserDetailsContextMapper is set on the authentication provider. Take a look at the LDAP chapter in the manual.
