How to authenticate to active directory using trusted domain user? - java

Using Active Directory Domains and Trusts, I added the trusted domain named domainB.com for the domainA.com
Using this code to authenticate to active directory, I get the error "LDAP: error code 49 - 80090308: LdapErr: DSID-0C090334, comment: AcceptSecurityContext error, data 525, vece"
Hashtable<String, String> env = new Hashtable<String, String>();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "ldap://domainA.com:389/");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION, "simple");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "domainB\\userB");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "*******");
env.put(Context.REFERRAL, "follow");
InitialLdapContext ctx = new InitialLdapContext(env, null); //this line will cause error
How can I authenticate to AD using the trusted domain user?
Thank you for your help

error 49 usually means bad credentials.
Also in the last line you can use
DirContext context = new InitialDirContext(env);
JNDI will do the rest.

Shibboleth idp configuration for ldap authentication

I am novice to shibboleth and I am attempting to use LDAP with Shibboleth . i tried a lot but i could not make it happen. Can any one tell me what should be the AttributeDefinition, DataConnector and login.config for the following java code which working fine. please help
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
String ldapSearchBase = "dc=samplehro,dc=india";
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory");
env.put("com.sun.jndi.ldap.read.timeout", "4000");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "ldap://smplchn-adsvr.samplehro.india");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION, "simple");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, username + "#samplehro.india");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, password);
The accepted answer is a link-only answer and the link is dead, so here is one that, essentially, just copies an example from the official Shibboleth documentation.:
# Put in attribute-resolver.xml
<DataConnector id="myLDAP" xsi:type="LDAPDirectory"
ldapURL="%{idp.attribute.resolver.LDAP.ldapURL}"
baseDN="%{idp.attribute.resolver.LDAP.baseDN}"
principal="%{idp.attribute.resolver.LDAP.bindDN}"
principalCredential="%{idp.attribute.resolver.LDAP.bindDNCredential}"
trustFile="%{idp.attribute.resolver.LDAP.trustCertificates}"
useStartTLS="%{idp.attribute.resolver.LDAP.useStartTLS:true}"
noResultIsError="%{idp.attribute.resolver.LDAP.noResultsIsError:false}"
multipleResultsIsError="%{idp.attribute.resolver.LDAP.multipleResultsIsError:true}">
<FilterTemplate>

What are the accepted SECURITY_PRINCIPAL formats for LDAP Authentication against Active Directory?

I am trying to authenticate a user through LDAP against Active Directory. Following is the code snippet I use:
private DirContext bindAsUser(String bindPrincipal, String password) {
Hashtable<String,String> env = new Hashtable<String,String>();
env.put(Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION, "simple");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, bindPrincipal);
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, bindUrl);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, password);
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory");
env.put(Context.REFERRAL, "follow");
try {
return new InitialLdapContext(env, null);
} catch (NamingException e) {
e.printStackTrace()
}
}
The code for binding works if I provide:
Down-Level Logon Name, i.e. NetBIOSDomainName\sAMAccountName (e.g. domain\username), or
userPrincipalName (e.g. username#abc.com), or
distinguishedName (e.g. CN=username,OU=xxx,DC=abc,DC=com), or
objectSid (e.g. S-1-5-21-3623811015-3361044348-30300820-1013)
as the SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, while it failed if sAMAccountName (e.g. username) was used (I guess only the names which are unique within the forest are valid).
So what are the accepted patterns for SECURITY_PRINCIPAL? I searched a few similar questions, but none provide reference to official AD/LDAP documents. Or is it a configuration which I could lookup somewhere? Thanks!
From [MS-ADTS: Active Directory Technical Specification], the official doc for AD I guess.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc223499.aspx
Section "5.1.1.1.1 Simple Authentication" lists all the name forms supported by simple authentication.
I think you need check LDAP Principal Template. It specifies the principal authentication template required by your LDAP server. The principal authentication template is the format in which the authentication information for the security principal (the person who is logging in) must be passed to the LDAP server. The default value is ${email}, which is the format required by Microsoft Active Directory. Other LDAP servers require different authentication templates. Check with your network administrator to learn more about your LDAP server.

Change AD user expired password in Java

I'm using JNDI to change LDAP user's password. In most cases (when user's password isn't expired) this code works just fine:
public InitialLdapContext connect(String url, String securityPrincipal, String password) throws AuthenticationException, NamingException {
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", truststore);
Properties env = new Properties();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, url);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "EE\\" + securityPrincipal);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, password);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PROTOCOL, "ssl");
env.put("java.naming.ldap.version", "3");
env.put(Context.REFERRAL, "follow");
return new InitialLdapContext(env,null);
}
But when user with expired password tries to change it my app throws:
Exception: javax.naming.AuthenticationException: [LDAP: error code 49 - 80090308: LdapErr: DSID-0C0903A9, comment: AcceptSecurityContext error, data 773, v1db1 ]
com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtx.mapErrorCode(LdapCtx.java:3041)
com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtx.processReturnCode(LdapCtx.java:2987)
com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtx.processReturnCode(LdapCtx.java:2789)
com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtx.connect(LdapCtx.java:2703)
com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtx.<init>(LdapCtx.java:293)
com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory.getUsingURL(LdapCtxFactory.java:175)
com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory.getUsingURLs(LdapCtxFactory.java:193)
com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory.getLdapCtxInstance(LdapCtxFactory.java:136)
com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory.getInitialContext(LdapCtxFactory.java:66)
So my question is: Is it possible to change LDAP expired passwords? If it's possible, then tell how.
Thanx for help!
If you're using the password policy overlay you have to use the change-password extended request. It's not supported in the JDK but I've posted code for it in the Oracle Java JNDI forum.
The problem was resolved by creating Super User in Ad, which has rights to change every AD password. And when AD user password is expired, then the Super User changes his password.

How to bind in Java using DN and Password in LDAP?

I want to search a user from LDAP and after getting the user I want to connect (validate)
that particular user using his DN and Password
I have successfully getting the DN but dont know how to bind it?
Here is an example that I took from the official documentation :
// Set up the environment for creating the initial context
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
"com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "ldap://localhost:389/o=JNDITutorial");
// Authenticate as S. User and password "mysecret"
env.put(Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION, "simple");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "cn=S. User, ou=NewHires, o=JNDITutorial");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "mysecret");
DirContext ctx = new InitialDirContext(env);
You have to choose your right authentication model. I have tried it before and worked fine.
The LDAP bind() operation corresponds to the following in JNDI:
Constructing an InitialDirContext or InitialLdapContext with enough information in the environment to cause a login, i.e. a security principal and credentials, or
Calling reconnect() on an LdapContext initially obtained without any security information in the environment, or with security information relating to a different principal, but whose environment has subsequently been modified.
When a connection is made to a directory server using LDAP, the connection state is unauthenticated. Requests can be transmitted on an unauthenticated connection, assuming the server administrators permit unauthenticated requests. The BIND request is used to change authentication state of a connection.
Here is an example of searching and authenticating using the UnboundID LDAP SDK: SimpleBindExample.java. This example searches for an entry given a base object, naming attribute, and username, and then attempts to authenticate using a simple bind. Examples using a SASL bind could be constructed just as easily.
If you already have LdapContext opened using your credentials, you can copy it, change principal+credential in its environment and try reconnect:
LdapContext userContext = ldapContext.newInstance(null); // copy context
userContext.addToEnvironment(InitialDirContext.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, userDn);
userContext.addToEnvironment(InitialDirContext.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, password);
userContext.reconnect(null); // throws NamingException if creds wrong
userContext.close();
If it throws NamingException, credentials are wrong. It it is successful, credentials are ok. ;)
(This is useful if you have only LdapContext, but not the InitialDirContext, available.)

verify LDAP user password in Java

I'm attempting to verify a user's password in some Java code:
private void bindToLdap(String un, String pw) throws NamingException, AuthenticationException {
log.debug ("Doing LDAP bind as user");
Hashtable<String, Object> env = new Hashtable<String, Object>();
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, LdapConns.openLdapUrl);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION, "simple");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "uid="+un+",ou=people,<base OU>");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, pw);
DirContext dctx = new InitialDirContext(env);
log.debug("Context below:");
log.debug(dctx.getEnvironment().toString());
dctx.lookup("ou=people");
log.debug("connection context:");
log.debug(dctx.getEnvironment().toString());
log.debug ("Bound as user?");
}
Everything I've read so far indicates that I should take an exception when instantiating the DirContext if I've entered a bad password. This is not the case - I get a valid DirContext even if I enter a known bad password. I expect to catch an AuthenticationException at the dctx.lookup, I actually catch a NamingException.
In the debug log, I show:
[usermgmt.action.ChangeInternalPassword:bindToLdap:242] Context below:
[usermgmt.action.ChangeInternalPassword:bindToLdap:243] {java.naming.provider.url=ldaps://<ldap server>:636/, java.naming.factory.initial=org.apache.naming.java.javaURLContextFactory, java.naming.security.authentication=simple, java.naming.security.principal=nononyen_test, java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.apache.naming, java.naming.security.credentials=fubar!}
How do I verify that the password is actually correct? Do I need to perform a search on the LDAP db after binding to take the exception?
The LDAP database is OpenLDAP.
To determine whether an authentication ID and password is correct, applications must establish a connection to the directory server and then transmit a bind request and examine the response. The bind response from the server will contain an integer result code indicating the success or failure of the bind request, and may also contain response controls with some extra information about the status of the user entry.
