Understanding how Spring LDAP authentication works
We saw that we were able to log in using a user defined in the LDAP directory. But what exactly happens when a user issues a login request for a user in LDAP? There are the following three basic steps to the LDAP authentication process:
- Authenticate the credentials supplied by the user against the LDAP directory.
- Determine the GrantedAuthority object that the user has, based on their information in LDAP.
- Pre-load information from the LDAP entry for the user into a custom UserDetails object, for further use by the application.
