LDAP Serach Error - NotContextException

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!!

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?

Thanks in  Advance,

Rahul

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

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 Nitin,

Try adding the dependencies as listed in the below snaps:

In Main POM.xml:

In core - child POM.xml

With embed and import packages as mentioned in my previous post, it should solve your NoClassDef exception.

Hi Jon, Dinesh,

Facing the same dependency issue you have faced. 

tried to resolve using below jar files but no luck.

Embed dependency as part of bundle and remove some from import, as suggested by Dinesh

Can you please have a look and suggest whether I am using correct jar and version.

Using AEM 6.4 sp4 version.

I was able to resolve dependency issues after creating separate bundles, but when invoking the servlet getting "no class definition found issue for LdapConnectionConfig.

Thanks,

That's great, thanks I got it to not error, now if I can just figure out why the connection statement is dying without throwing an exception... LOL

Seriously though, really appreciate the help!

Yeah, I could recollect it was not that easy. Even embed has introduced some other collision after installing it in OSGI container. So, I had to add some not conditions under the import package too along with embed jar list. Open your Core POM.xml and update it as highlighted below under <Embed-Dependency> and <Import-Package> sections.

Thanks for the quick reply!  I have made a couple of attempts at that, but I am also fairly new to maven. Can you let me know how you achieved this or point me in the direction of an online guide.

Thanks again.
