Hi all,

after a while without blog, I'm back with (I hope) interesting stuff. How to perform LDAP request to an Active Directory server
with Kerberos Authentication.

There the (ugly) code adapted from some examples :

//MyLdap.java//
<code java>
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
import javax.naming.NamingException;
import javax.naming.NameAlreadyBoundException;
import javax.naming.directory.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.security.auth.*;
import javax.security.auth.callback.*;
import javax.security.auth.login.*;
import com.sun.security.auth.callback.TextCallbackHandler;

public class MyLdap {

                  public static Subject authenticate () {

                                // Obtain a LoginContext, needed for authentication. Tell it
                                // to use the LoginModule implementation specified by the
                                // entry named "JaasSample" in the JAAS login configuration
                                // file and to also use the specified CallbackHandler.
                                LoginContext lc = null;
                                Subject subject = null;

                                try {
                                         lc = new LoginContext("JaasSample", new TextCallbackHandler());

                                } catch (LoginException le) {
                                         System.err.println("Cannot create LoginContext. "
                                                  + le.getMessage());
                                         System.exit(1);
                                } catch (SecurityException se) {
                                         System.err.println("Cannot create LoginContext. "
                                                  + se.getMessage());
                                         System.exit(1);
                                } 
                                try {
                                         // attempt authentication
                                         lc.login();
                                } catch (LoginException le) {
                                         System.err.println("Authentication failed: " + le.getMessage());
                                         System.exit(1);
                                }
                                return lc.getSubject();
                        }

        public static void main( String[] args ) {
                          Subject subject;

                          subject = authenticate();

                          subject.doAs(subject, new TestLdap(args));
        }
}
