Currently the search filter used when retrieving user details is hard coded.
New property in ActiveDirectoryLdapAuthenticationProvider:
- searchFilter - the LDAP search filter to use when searching for authorities,
default to search using 'userPrincipalName' (current) OR 'sAMAccountName'
Prior to this change, ApacheDSContainer created a LdifFileLoader
without a ClassLoader. This limited its ability to load LDIF files
and causes a problem with an executable war in Spring Boot. See [1]
for details.
ApacheDSContainer now initialises LdifFileLoader with a ClassLoader.
This allows it to locate LDIF files packaged in WEB-INF/classes in
the case of an executable war file. The executable jar case was not
affected by this problem as, in that case, the LDIF file is pacakaged
in the root of the jar and is accessible via getSystemResourceAsStream

This refers to groups that have member: <another group DN> as an attribute
- Add in a utility method in the SpringSecurityLdapTemplate to retrieve multiple attributes and their values from an LDAP record
- Make the DefaultLdapAuthoritiesPopulator more extensible
- Add an LdapAuthority object that holds the DN in addition to other group attributes
- Add a NestedLdapAuthoritiesPopulator to search statically nested groups
Previously communication errors with LDAP were only logged at debug level.
Communication errors (along with other non-authenticated related NamingExceptions)
are now logged as error messages. We created an InternalAuthetnicationServiceException
to represent errors that should be logged as errors to distinguish between internal
and external authentication failures. For example, we do not want an OpenID Provider
being able to report errors that cause our logs to fill up. However, an LDAP system is
internal and should be trusted so logging at an error level makes sense.
Previously there was no way to extract the original exception or to easily
obtain details about the failure if Spring Security was not able to translate
the exception into a Spring Security AuthenticationException.
Now the caused by is an ActiveDirectoryAuthenticationException which contains
the original Active Directory error code.
