How set up java application with personal LDAP SERVER, LDIF file

I'm trying to use an embedded LDIF file to test my Java Application.

I put this parameter in the application.properties:

spring.ldap.embedded.ldif= C:\\Test.ldif

But if I try to test the application I still can be authenticated with the real credentials. It seems that is not loading the LDIF file.

How does Spring work with the ldif file?

Solution

  • In your browser you can find your file when you type the file URL:

    eg:

    file:///C:/Test.ldif

    After that you can use this URL in your application.properties file:

    spring.ldap.embedded.ldif = file:///C:/Test.ldif
