How to import a package in a OSGi bundle?

What have I done wrong? How to import package org.springframework.ldap.core in my bundle?

Hi @Cristian Pérez González

From what I can see you are trying to build some directory integration that would allow you connect to LDAP directory. You are trying to do this via a spring bean that would be started in your plugin context. As currently the way you define a custom directory in Crowd is not via spring bean but through a class name defined in the ui, which class is then instantiated through a Crowd server class loader. This means that you have access to the classes and packages that are used be Crowd itself.

Here you can find out more about implementing a custom directory in Crowd plugin https://developer.atlassian.com/server/crowd/creating-a-custom-directory-connector/

In your case since you are trying to connect to LDAP, I think you could try to experiment with the com.atlassian.crowd.directory.SpringLDAPConnector as a base class. Please note that this class might change in future releases of Crowd.

Hope that helps,

Hi @Marcin Kempa,

I want to avoid having to implement a custom directory because it would imply the following:

Create a JAR of the MyCustomDirectory and any supporting class files.
Shut down Crowd.
Place the newly-created JAR from step one in the CROWD/crowd-webapp/WEB-INF/lib folder.
Start Crowd.

So, what I intend to do is:

Overwrite the addUser action
Get the instance of the directory that the user has chosen
Use my own addUser method to add more ldap schemes ("posixAccount", "top", "inetOrgPerson", "shadowAccount"), more attributes.
Implement a new user interface where the user can choose these ldap schemes

com.atlassian.crowd.directory.SpringLDAPConnector has protected fields and methods so I use the wrapper pattern to try to access certain protected fields. The fact is that I need the ldapTemplate field.

Here I show the class where I intend to implement this (the method where I have problems with osgi is geLdapTemplate)

@ExportAsService
@Named("springLdapConnectorCustom")
public class SpringLdapConnectorCustomImpl extends SpringLDAPConnector implements SpringLdapConnectorCustom {


 SpringLDAPConnector connector;
 private final InstanceFactory instanceFactory;
@Inject

Hi,

So I understand that you would like to be able to extend the user creation so that admins would be able to choose of different schemes for objectclass when they are adding new users into the LDAP directory. The way you would like to achieve this is to provide a plugin (so you do not need to restart Crowd) and add another / replace 'add User' option so that you are able to provide new UI for creating a user where selecting such a scheme would be possible. Is that a fair understanding of the issue you are trying to solve?

Currently I see the problem that Crowd does not export the

org.springframework.ldap.core

nor it exports the LdapTemplate as spring bean (or maybe you export it by yourself?).

Are you trying to replace the current SpringLDAPConnector with your custom implementation? At the moment I don't see the possibility to do so from plugin.

What you could potentially do is to create a new UI so once users enter all required data you will trigger directoryManage.addUser (as the DirectoryManager is visible to plugins) so it would do what normally Crowd does and later on you could update the user with a scheme that was selected. For the latter you will have to get information about the directory that was selected and get the URL, BaseDN, username and password in order to make a connection to the LDAP for update. In order to use LdapTemplate you will have to include this spring module as part of your plugin.

At the moment I think that there are no better options to provide an attribute mapper to the SpringLDAPConnector so that it would do all the magic in one go.

Hope that helps,

Marcin Kempa

What you are saying in the penultimate section is what I am doing now.

Thanks anyway!
