| *Since Camel 2.20* |
| |
| // HEADER START |
| *Only producer is supported* |
| // HEADER END |
| |
| The LDIF component allows you to do updates on an LDAP server |
| from a LDIF body content. |
| |
| This component uses a basic URL syntax to access the server. It uses |
| the Apache DS LDAP library to process the LDIF. After processing the LDIF, |
| the response body will be a list of statuses for success/failure of each |
| entry. |
| |
| [NOTE] |
| The Apache LDAP API is very sensitive to LDIF syntax errors. If in doubt, |
| refer to the unit tests to see an example of each change type. |
| |
| Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their `pom.xml` |
| for this component: |
| |
| [source,xml] |
| ---- |
| <dependency> |
| <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId> |
| <artifactId>camel-ldif</artifactId> |
| <version>x.x.x</version> |
| <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version --> |
| </dependency> |
| ---- |
| |
| == URI format |
| |
| [source] |
| ---- |
| ldif:ldapServerBean[?options] |
| ---- |
| |
| The _ldapServerBean_ portion of the URI refers to a |
| https://directory.apache.org/api/gen-docs/latest/apidocs/org/apache/directory/ldap/client/api/LdapConnection.html[LdapConnection]. |
| This should be constructed from a factory at the point of use to avoid connection timeouts. The LDIF component only supports producer |
| endpoints, which means that an `ldif` URI cannot appear in the `from` at |
| the start of a route. |
| |
| For SSL configuration, refer to the `camel-ldap` component where there is an example |
| of setting up a custom SocketFactory instance. |
| |
| You can append query options to the URI in the following format, |
| `?option=value&option=value&...` |
| |
| == Options |
| |
| // component options: START |
| The LDIF component supports 3 options, which are listed below. |
| |
| |
| |
| [width="100%",cols="2,5,^1,2",options="header"] |
| |=== |
| | Name | Description | Default | Type |
| | *basicPropertyBinding* (advanced) | Whether the component should use basic property binding (Camel 2.x) or the newer property binding with additional capabilities | false | boolean |
| | *lazyStartProducer* (producer) | Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel's routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing. | false | boolean |
| | *bridgeErrorHandler* (consumer) | Allows for bridging the consumer to the Camel routing Error Handler, which mean any exceptions occurred while the consumer is trying to pickup incoming messages, or the likes, will now be processed as a message and handled by the routing Error Handler. By default the consumer will use the org.apache.camel.spi.ExceptionHandler to deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN or ERROR level and ignored. | false | boolean |
| |=== |
| // component options: END |
| |
| // endpoint options: START |
| The LDIF endpoint is configured using URI syntax: |
| |
| ---- |
| ldif:ldapConnectionName |
| ---- |
| |
| with the following path and query parameters: |
| |
| === Path Parameters (1 parameters): |
| |
| |
| [width="100%",cols="2,5,^1,2",options="header"] |
| |=== |
| | Name | Description | Default | Type |
| | *ldapConnectionName* | *Required* The name of the LdapConnection bean to pull from the registry. Note that this must be of scope prototype to avoid it being shared among threads or using a connection that has timed out. | | String |
| |=== |
| |
| |
| === Query Parameters (3 parameters): |
| |
| |
| [width="100%",cols="2,5,^1,2",options="header"] |
| |=== |
| | Name | Description | Default | Type |
| | *lazyStartProducer* (producer) | Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel's routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing. | false | boolean |
| | *basicPropertyBinding* (advanced) | Whether the endpoint should use basic property binding (Camel 2.x) or the newer property binding with additional capabilities | false | boolean |
| | *synchronous* (advanced) | Sets whether synchronous processing should be strictly used, or Camel is allowed to use asynchronous processing (if supported). | false | boolean |
| |=== |
| // endpoint options: END |
| // spring-boot-auto-configure options: START |
| == Spring Boot Auto-Configuration |
| |
| When using Spring Boot make sure to use the following Maven dependency to have support for auto configuration: |
| |
| [source,xml] |
| ---- |
| <dependency> |
| <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId> |
| <artifactId>camel-ldif-starter</artifactId> |
| <version>x.x.x</version> |
| <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version --> |
| </dependency> |
| ---- |
| |
| |
| The component supports 4 options, which are listed below. |
| |
| |
| |
| [width="100%",cols="2,5,^1,2",options="header"] |
| |=== |
| | Name | Description | Default | Type |
| | *camel.component.ldif.basic-property-binding* | Whether the component should use basic property binding (Camel 2.x) or the newer property binding with additional capabilities | false | Boolean |
| | *camel.component.ldif.bridge-error-handler* | Allows for bridging the consumer to the Camel routing Error Handler, which mean any exceptions occurred while the consumer is trying to pickup incoming messages, or the likes, will now be processed as a message and handled by the routing Error Handler. By default the consumer will use the org.apache.camel.spi.ExceptionHandler to deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN or ERROR level and ignored. | false | Boolean |
| | *camel.component.ldif.enabled* | Whether to enable auto configuration of the ldif component. This is enabled by default. | | Boolean |
| | *camel.component.ldif.lazy-start-producer* | Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel's routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing. | false | Boolean |
| |=== |
| // spring-boot-auto-configure options: END |
| |
| |
| == Body types: |
| |
| The body can be a URL to an LDIF file or an inline LDIF file. To signify the difference |
| in body types, an inline LDIF must start with: |
| |
| [source] |
| ---- |
| version: 1 |
| ---- |
| |
| If not, the component will try to parse the body as a URL. |
| |
| == Result |
| |
| The result is returned in the Out body as a `ArrayList<java.lang.String>` object. |
| This contains either "success" or an Exception message for each LDIF entry. |
| |
| == LdapConnection |
| |
| The URI, `ldif:ldapConnectionName`, references a bean with the ID, |
| `ldapConnectionName`. The ldapConnection can be configured using a |
| `LdapConnectionConfig` bean. Note that the scope must have a scope of |
| `prototype` to avoid the connection being shared or picking up a |
| stale connection. |
| |
| The `LdapConnection` bean may be defined as follows in Spring XML: |
| |
| [source,xml] |
| ---- |
| <bean id="ldapConnectionOptions" class="org.apache.directory.ldap.client.api.LdapConnectionConfig"> |
| <property name="ldapHost" value="${ldap.host}"/> |
| <property name="ldapPort" value="${ldap.port}"/> |
| <property name="name" value="${ldap.username}"/> |
| <property name="credentials" value="${ldap.password}"/> |
| <property name="useSsl" value="false"/> |
| <property name="useTls" value="false"/> |
| </bean> |
| |
| <bean id="ldapConnectionFactory" class="org.apache.directory.ldap.client.api.DefaultLdapConnectionFactory"> |
| <constructor-arg index="0" ref="ldapConnectionOptions"/> |
| </bean> |
| |
| <bean id="ldapConnection" factory-bean="ldapConnectionFactory" factory-method="newLdapConnection" scope="prototype"/> |
| ---- |
| |
| or in a OSGi blueprint.xml: |
| [source,xml] |
| ---- |
| <bean id="ldapConnectionOptions" class="org.apache.directory.ldap.client.api.LdapConnectionConfig"> |
| <property name="ldapHost" value="${ldap.host}"/> |
| <property name="ldapPort" value="${ldap.port}"/> |
| <property name="name" value="${ldap.username}"/> |
| <property name="credentials" value="${ldap.password}"/> |
| <property name="useSsl" value="false"/> |
| <property name="useTls" value="false"/> |
| </bean> |
| |
| <bean id="ldapConnectionFactory" class="org.apache.directory.ldap.client.api.DefaultLdapConnectionFactory"> |
| <argument ref="ldapConnectionOptions"/> |
| </bean> |
| |
| <bean id="ldapConnection" factory-ref="ldapConnectionFactory" factory-method="newLdapConnection" scope="prototype"/> |
| ---- |
| |
| |
| == Samples |
| |
| Following on from the Spring configuration above, the code sample below |
| sends an LDAP request to filter search a group for a member. The Common |
| Name is then extracted from the response. |
| |
| [source,java] |
| ---- |
| ProducerTemplate<Exchange> template = exchange.getContext().createProducerTemplate(); |
| |
| List<?> results = (Collection<?>) template.sendBody("ldif:ldapConnection, "LDiff goes here"); |
| |
| if (results.size() > 0) { |
| // Check for no errors |
| |
| for (String result : results) { |
| if ("success".equalTo(result)) { |
| // LDIF entry success |
| } else { |
| // LDIF entry failure |
| } |
| } |
| } |
