LDAP Serach Error - NotContextException

Hi All,

We are upgarding from CQ5.6.1 to AEM 6.2. In the earlier version we had a code that search the content of Ldap using javax.naming.directory* classes.

Like the way

DirContext ctx = new InitialDirContext(env); //Creating context NamingEnumeration<SearchResult> ldapResults = ctx.search(base.get(), filter, sc); //Calling search method with arguments, this line throws Exception

When we are running the same code in AEM 6.2, getting the error.

javax.naming.NotContextException: Not an instance of DirContext at javax.naming.directory.InitialDirContext.getURLOrDefaultInitDirCtx(InitialDirContext.java:111) at javax.naming.directory.InitialDirContext.search(InitialDirContext.java:267)

Any one faced this issue? The only difference I know is that in Cq5.6.1, we used to do the LDAP configs at server level, in AEm 6.2 they are available in OSGI configs.

Note:- We are defaining the LDAP enviornment varaibles in the Java class as well where we are getting the exception

Thanks

Monika

    Hi Monika,

    Osgi is an JNDI implementation does not interact well with factory DirContext or LdapContext for casting it back. You can find couple of issue in web on this with various osgi providers. To over come this make use of enhanced LDAP API which replaces JNDI and the existing LDAP API like "schema aware" API with convenient ways to access any LDAP server.

     

    Thanks,

    Thanks Dinesh, was able to resolve dependency issue.

    Same dependencies are available in OAK Ldap Authentication Support bundle, but not sure why required dependencies are not picked of from there.

    Any thoughts ?

    Hi All,

    I'm still stuck at this point and the below mentioned pom snap is not working for me.

    To summarize, I can import jar/package in eclipse and compile but the osgi dependency is not resolved. 

    AEM 6.4

    Hello Team,

    I am facing same kind error  'javax.naming.NotContextException: Not an instance of DirContext' when trying to fetch users from group of LDAP in Java. I am deploying my code in AEM 6.4. Code is working when i am testing through main method in Local eclipse tool but when deploy on server using maven and test, it gives this kind of error. We are using DirContext.

    Could you please assist me?

    Rahul

    Hi Rahul,

    We were never able to use DirContext starting from AEM 6.2 and moved to LDAP API. Here is some documentation around this.

    LDAP API Downloads — Apache Directory.

    And others mentioned above, added the new pom dependencies to utilize the LDAP API.

    Hope that helps!!
