LDAP over SSL
[193 byte] By [Mark.Carruthers] at [2007-11-25 22:11:29] 
Has anybody successfully used the UDS LDAP library to connect to an LDAP server over SSL? I've done a quick test program that works without SSL but hangs when SSL is used.

Mark,How did you 'switch' on SSL with the LDAP library? I need this for a customer but I could not find it was possible to do SSL at all with LDAP.Kind regards,Edwin EdwinD at 2007-7-5 1:54:47 >

Sun confirmed that the current LDAP library doesn't support LDAP over SSL.However, they are going to add the functionality into the UDS 5.2.15 release which should be available next week. MarkCarruthers at 2007-7-5 1:54:47 >

Mark,Thanks for your answer. Did they mention anything about adding SSL support also for the webservices (SOAP) functionality?Kind regards,Edwin EdwinD at 2007-7-5 1:54:47 >

I haven't had any experience of the web service functionality (yet), but I thought that SSL support was already there. The Integrating with External Systems manual seems to show how to setup a service object as an XML server using SSL.
BTW, I've just installed 5.2.15 and used it to authenticate a user with an LDAP server over SSL.

Mark, good news! We can really use the LDAP SSL support!
I looked webservices SSL up in the manual and indeed it is in there (5.0) manual. However the configuration window of 'more options' is different from the 5.0 manual in UDS 5.1.3 and UDS 5.2.13. No SSL option anymore!
I will try to use the fscript commands instead of the partition workshop to configure SSL.

The documentation hasn't been updated to include the LDAP over SSL feature. When you get around to using it, you'll need to:
1) Create an SSLExternalConnection object and use it to open a connection to the LDAP server's SSL port.
2) Call the new SetConnection(pConnection:ExternalConnection) method on an LDAPSession object instead of it's Open() method.
