    Default Alternative to DN binding

    Hi,

    I have the following problem, I am currently using the ldap BindAuthenticator in 3.0.3. This requires a DN pattern to do the binding but our ldap does not store the username in its DN pattern (Dunno if this is the norm, I am new to ldap). So the username cannot be used for binding. Do I have to implement my own BindAuthenticator to bind with the username? What would be the best approach.

    Thanks,
    Angel

    Is the username stored as an attribute in the LDAP directory? If so, what attribute? Is that attribute part of the DN, or not?

    Yes it is being stored in the sAMAccountName attribute in the form of username@domain.com, it may be stored in another attribute but I cannot remember. The username is not part of the DN.

    Thanks.

    Nevermind, this was easily solved using FilterBasedLdapUserSearch.
