LDAP authentication failure
I'm following this LDAP authentication code
LDAP Authentication code
replaced parameters with my own parameters to authenticate with OpenLDAP 2.4.31
I am getting authentication failure message . ..what I'm doing wrong ? ..unable to find the root cause.
Do I need to send password encrypted ?

What is the error you are getting ? Can you please share the logs?
You might get more useful information with ex.printStackTrace();

directory structure :
OpenLDAP admin DN : cn=admin,dc=nodomain
admin password: root@123
When I added this user via ldif file content was like this : ( note the userPassword)

try
environment.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, base);
okay....verified now.
It prints authentication success!
But there is no username in base ..right ?
Is not we do authenticate username with its password ?
What is to do now ?
The username is cn is it not? I mean - you tell me - i told you i didn't do LDAP ;)
ASKER
The username is cn is it not?
as per my understanding username is uid which is skdas in this example
correct me if I'm wrong.
Java
Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
