This section covers the configuration of the LDAP directory service in Geronimo when the Web container in use is Jetty. For this configuration example, the sample application used is a modified version of the application already available in the open JIRA GERONIMO-417. Download the sample application from the following URL:

http://opensource2.atlassian.com/confluence/oss/download/attachments/17981795/ldap-jetty.zip

After extracting the zip file a ldap-jetty directory is created, from now on this directory will be referred as <ldap_home>.

At this point it is assumed that you have installed Java 1.4.2 and an LDAP client and you are capable of loading an .ldif file to a directory server.

Add LDAP entries

Ensure that Geronimo is up and running and the Directory service is started.

...

Once you connect to the Geronimo Directory server you will see the initial configuration, this configuration can be exported as a backup in a ldif file. Depending the LDAP client you are using the export/import steps will be different. When you export the initial configuration you get an ldif file with a content similar as the one shown in the following example.

dn: ou=system
ou: system
objectClass: organizationalUnit
objectClass: top

dn: uid=admin, ou=system
displayName: Directory Superuser
uid: admin
userPassword:: c2VjcmV0
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
objectClass: organizationalPerson
objectClass: person
objectClass: top
sn: administrator
cn: system administrator

dn: ou=users, ou=system
ou: users
objectClass: organizationalUnit
objectClass: top

dn: ou=groups, ou=system
ou: groups
objectClass: organizationalUnit
objectClass: top

dn: ou=configuration, ou=system
ou: configuration
objectClass: organizationalUnit
objectClass: top

dn: ou=partitions, ou=configuration, ou=system
ou: partitions
objectClass: organizationalUnit
objectClass: top

dn: ou=services, ou=configuration, ou=system
ou: services
objectClass: organizationalUnit
objectClass: top

dn: ou=interceptors, ou=configuration, ou=system
ou: interceptors
objectClass: organizationalUnit
objectClass: top

dn: prefNodeName=sysPrefRoot, ou=system
objectClass: extensibleObject
prefNodeName: sysPrefRoot

Now you can import the entries needed to run the sample application. To simplify the process
