Connection refused from embedded LDAP

[SandySonu]

Hi
I'm trying to use the embedded LDAP server for testing as suggested; this is in a console app, not web, to make things simpler for the moment. I am getting java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect.

My applicationContext-security.xml is

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:s="http://www.springframework.org/schema/security"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schem...-beans-3.0.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/security http://www.springframework.org/schema/security/spring-security-3.0.xsd">


<s:ldap-server ldif="classpath:users.ldif" port="33389"/>

<s:authentication-manager>
<s:authentication-provider ref='secondLdapProvider' />
</s:authentication-manager>

<bean id="contextSource" class="org.springframework.security.ldap.DefaultSp ringSecurityContextSource">

</bean>

<bean id="secondLdapProvider" class="org.springframework.security.ldap.authentic ation.LdapAuthenticationProvider">

<property name="userSearch">

<constructor-arg index="0" value="ou=people"/>
<constructor-arg index="1" value="(uid={0})"/>
<constructor-arg index="2" ref="contextSource" />
</bean>
</property>

<property name="rolePrefix" value="ROLE_"/>
<property name="searchSubtree" value="true"/>
<property name="convertToUpperCase" value="true"/>
</bean>
</constructor-arg>
</bean>

</beans>

My java method is

public static void main(String[] args) {
XmlBeanFactory bf = new XmlBeanFactory(new ClassPathResource(
"applicationContext-security.xml"));
LdapAuthenticationProvider ldapAuthenticationProvider = (LdapAuthenticationProvider) bf.getBean("secondLdapProvider");

try {
Authentication request = new UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken("rod", "koala");
Authentication result = ldapAuthenticationProvider.authenticate(request);
System.out.println("Successfully authenticated. Security context contains: "+result.toString() );
} catch(AuthenticationException e) {
System.out.println("Authentication failed: " + e.getMessage());
}
}


Logs are

Try using a ClassPathXmlApplicationContext instead. You may want to read the differences between using ApplicationContext and a BeanFactory as well.
