I have a small problem at hand which girdles around learning Angular, with a Spring enabled Rest endpoints which uses a DB to store data and have security layer in between that should interact with a LDAP for authentication and authorization and finally the application should run as one smooth unit. It will be too much to cover in single blog so I will be writing multiple blogs in continuation to this one.<\/p>\n

There\u00a0were\u00a0multiple\u00a0start\u00a0points\u00a0that\u00a0I\u00a0could\u00a0have\u00a0started\u00a0but\u00a0in retrospect\u00a0as\u00a0I\u00a0blog\u00a0about\u00a0it, the\u00a0best\u00a0starting\u00a0point\u00a0is\u00a0to think about the\u00a0services\u00a0alone\u00a0at\u00a0first, what\u00a0you\u00a0want to\u00a0develop\u00a0and create\u00a0them\u00a0independently\u00a0and\u00a0test\u00a0them\u00a0as\u00a0a\u00a0unit\u00a0before\u00a0you\u00a0can\u00a0proceed\u00a0to\u00a0any\u00a0other\u00a0component.<\/p>\n

The other way could have been, that I define the functional signature and agree on expectation, especially if it was more than one team member project and it would have been much easier to develop parallely.<\/p>\n

Anyway,\u00a0I\u00a0am\u00a0just\u00a0using\u00a0my\u00a0spare\u00a0time\u00a0to\u00a0develop\u00a0it, so\u00a0I\u00a0thought\u00a0of crunching\u00a0some sample\u00a0code to\u00a0try\u00a0out\u00a0the\u00a0service that\u00a0I\u00a0wanted before\u00a0jumping\u00a0on\u00a0the\u00a0actual\u00a0application.<\/p>\n

Starting\u00a0point as\u00a0 always\u00a0is\u00a0sprint\u00a0initializer and\u00a0it helped\u00a0me\u00a0chose\u00a0what\u00a0I\u00a0want and get\u00a0the\u00a0guideline\u00a0project\u00a0to\u00a0start\u00a0with.<\/p>\n

Since I have added\u00a0these dependencies now, and am using IntelliJ to develop, life becomes a little easier.<\/p>\n

The current code looks minimal with the two classes<\/p>\n

\n
\n

@SpringBootApplication
\npublic class EventsServicesApplication {<\/p>\n

public static void main(String[] args) {
\nSpringApplication.run(EventsServicesApplication.class, args);
\n}<\/p>\n

}<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

and<\/p>\n

\n
\n

public class ServletInitializer extends SpringBootServletInitializer {<\/p>\n

@Override
\nprotected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder application) {
\nreturn application.sources(EventsServicesApplication.class);
\n}<\/p>\n

}<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

So scaffolding\u00a0is\u00a0ready,\u00a0and it is\u00a0time\u00a0to\u00a0add\u00a0some\u00a0dummy capabilities\u00a0to\u00a0try\u00a0out.<\/p>\n

You can configure few properties in the application.properties<\/em> file<\/p>\n

\n
spring.profiles.active=default
\nserver.port=8082
\nserver.servlet.context-path=\/events
\nlogging.level.org.springframework=DEBUG<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

If you now execute you can watch out for the information in the console that can help you understand what is getting initialized and how the spring framework is helping to stitch the capability that we are trying to achieve.<\/p>\n

Time\u00a0to customize\u00a0security<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u00a0started\u00a0by\u00a0adding extending the WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter<\/a><\/p>\n

\n
@Configuration
\n@EnableWebSecurity(debug = true)
\npublic class WebSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
\n@Override
\nprotected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
\nhttp.authorizeRequests().anyRequest().permitAll();

What I have done in the configure method is bypassed all the security explicitly by stating that permits all the requests with the overridden configure method.<\/p>\n

Spring\u00a0Data\u00a0Ldap<\/h2>\n

Now time to start with the Ldap structuring. From the introduction available at spring.io<\/a><\/p>\n

\n
The Spring Data LDAP project provides repository abstractions for Spring LDAP
\non top of Spring LDAP\u2019s LdapTemplate and Object-Directory Mapping.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Object-relational mapping frameworks like Hibernate and JPA offers developers the ability to use annotations to map relational database tables to Java objects.Spring LDAP project offers a similar ability with respect to LDAP directories through a number of methods: in LdapOperations<\/code><\/p>\n

Also,\u00a0note<\/p>\n

\n
Spring LDAP repositories can be enabled by using a <data-ldap:repositories>
\ntag in your XML configuration or by using an @EnableLdapRepositories annotation
\non a configuration class.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

For Ldap source I am using apacheDS which is fairly easy to use and manage.<\/p>\n

\"Image<\/p>\n

With\u00a0a\u00a0typical\u00a0user attributes\u00a0as\u00a0under<\/p>\n

\"Image<\/p>\n

Points\u00a0to\u00a0remember\u00a0straight\u00a0from\u00a0the\u00a0documentation<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. All Spring LDAP repositories must work with entities annotated with the ODM annotations, as described in Object-Directory Mapping<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  2. Since all ODM managed classes must have a Distinguished Name as the ID, all Spring LDAP repositories must have the ID type parameter set to javax.naming.Name<\/code>. Indeed, the built-in LdapRepository<\/code> only takes one type parameter: the managed entity class, which defaults the ID to javax.naming.Name<\/code>.<\/li>\n
  3. Due to specifics of the LDAP protocol, paging and sorting are not supported for Spring LDAP repositories.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n
