Class ANONYMOUSBindRequest

All Implemented Interfaces:
ReadOnlyLDAPRequest, Serializable

This class provides a SASL ANONYMOUS bind request implementation as described in RFC 4505. Binding with The ANONYMOUS SASL mechanism is essentially equivalent to using an anonymous simple bind (i.e., a simple bind with an empty password), although the SASL ANONYMOUS mechanism does provide the ability to include additional trace information with the request that may be logged or otherwise handled by the server.

Example

The following example demonstrates the process for performing an ANONYMOUS bind, including a trace string of "Demo Application" against a directory server:
 ANONYMOUSBindRequest bindRequest =
      new ANONYMOUSBindRequest("Demo Application");
 BindResult bindResult;
 try
 {
   bindResult = connection.bind(bindRequest);
   // If we get here, then the bind was successful.
 }
 catch (LDAPException le)
 {
   // The bind failed for some reason.
   bindResult = new BindResult(le.toLDAPResult());
   ResultCode resultCode = le.getResultCode();
   String errorMessageFromServer = le.getDiagnosticMessage();
 }

  • Method Details

    • getSASLMechanismName

      Retrieves the name of the SASL mechanism used in this SASL bind request.
      Specified by:
      getSASLMechanismName in class SASLBindRequest
      Returns:
      The name of the SASL mechanism used in this SASL bind request.
    • getTraceString

      Retrieves the trace string that will be included with the bind request.
      Returns:
      The trace string that will be included with the bind request, or null if there is to be no trace string.
    • process

      @NotNull protected BindResult process(@NotNull LDAPConnection connection, int depth) throws LDAPException
      Sends this bind request to the target server over the provided connection and returns the corresponding response.
      Specified by:
      process in class BindRequest
      Parameters:
      connection - The connection to use to send this bind request to the server and read the associated response.
      depth - The current referral depth for this request. It should always be one for the initial request, and should only be incremented when following referrals.
      Returns:
      The bind response read from the server.
      Throws:
      LDAPException - If a problem occurs while sending the request or reading the response.
    • getRebindRequest

      Retrieves a bind request that may be used to re-bind using the same credentials authentication type and credentials as previously used to perform the initial bind. This may be used in an attempt to automatically re-establish a connection that is lost, or potentially when following a referral to another directory instance.

      It is recommended that all bind request types which implement this capability be implemented so that the elements needed to create a new request are immutable. If this is not done, then changes made to a bind request object may alter the authentication/authorization identity and/or credentials associated with that request so that a rebind request created from it will not match the original request used to authenticate on a connection.
      Overrides:
      getRebindRequest in class BindRequest
      Parameters:
      host - The address of the directory server to which the connection is established.
      port - The port of the directory server to which the connection is established.
      Returns:
      A bind request that may be used to re-bind using the same authentication type and credentials as previously used to perform the initial bind, or null to indicate that automatic re-binding is not supported for this type of bind request.
    • duplicate

      Creates a new instance of this LDAP request that may be modified without impacting this request.
      Specified by:
      duplicate in interface ReadOnlyLDAPRequest
      Specified by:
      duplicate in class BindRequest
      Returns:
      A new instance of this LDAP request that may be modified without impacting this request.
    • duplicate

      Creates a new instance of this LDAP request that may be modified without impacting this request. The provided controls will be used for the new request instead of duplicating the controls from this request.
      Specified by:
      duplicate in interface ReadOnlyLDAPRequest
      Specified by:
      duplicate in class BindRequest
      Parameters:
      controls - The set of controls to include in the duplicate request.
      Returns:
      A new instance of this LDAP request that may be modified without impacting this request.
    • toString

      Specified by:
      toString in class LDAPRequest
      Parameters:
      buffer - The buffer to which to append a string representation of this request.
    • toCode

      public void toCode(@NotNull List<String> lineList, @NotNull String requestID, int indentSpaces, boolean includeProcessing)

      Parameters:
      lineList - The list to which the source code lines should be added.
      requestID - The name that should be used as an identifier for the request. If this is null or empty, then a generic ID will be used.
      indentSpaces - The number of spaces that should be used to indent the generated code. It must not be negative.
      includeProcessing - Indicates whether the generated code should include code required to actually process the request and handle the result (if true), or just to generate the request (if false).
