I'm using UnboundID LDAP SDK for my LDAP server. I made a method for connecting.
public static LDAPConnection connectSDK(String ip, Integer port, String id, String pw) throws LDAPException {
LDAPConnection ldap = new LDAPConnection(ip,port,id,pw);
System.out.println("success");
return ldap;
}
In my main method, I call this methods with parameters, and it works fine.
public static void main(String[] args) throws LDAPException {
connectSDK("192.168.0.60",389,"******","*****");
}
I wanted to go further. I made a method to search data using a filter.
public static void searchSDK(String filter) throws LDAPException {
LDAPConnection ldap = connectSDK();
/* Before calling a method with parameter, I used to connect with this,
and use 'ldap' variable to put search results.
Now, I am using a method with parameters.
I don't know what to do with 'ldap' variable.
If I delete it, 'SearchRequest' doesn't run.
Also how can I continue to use the connection from connectSDK method? */
SearchRequest searchRequest = new SearchRequest("c=kr",SearchScope.SUB,filter);
SearchResult searchResult = ldap.search(searchRequest);
System.out.println(searchResult);
}
Ultimately, I want to call two of these methods in my main like below.
public static void main(String[] args) throws LDAPException {
//connect
connectSDK("192.168.0.60",389,"*****","******");
//search using a filter
searchSDK("hotdog");
}
I want advice in my searchSDK() methods.
*1) how to use the session connectSDK method created
*2) how to handle 'ldap' variable.
*3) ldap.close() I want to close a session after, but this method wouldn't work. Is there any other way?
There is no such method in your code LDAPConnection ldap = connectSDK(); As connectSDK(String ip, Integer port, String id, String pw) returns a LDAPConnection then pass this as a parameter into searchSDK and remove connectSDK() from it.
Modify the code as
public static void searchSDK(String filter, LDAPConnection ldap) throws LDAPException {
// LDAPConnection ldap = connectSDK();
....
}
So your main would look like
LDAPConnection ldap = connectSDK("192.168.0.60",389,"*****","******");
//search using a filter
searchSDK("hotdog", ldap);
