Method Detail

bind

public void bind(LDAPConnection ldc)
          throws LDAPException

Authenticates to the LDAP server (that the object is currently connected to) using the parameter that were provided to the constructor. If the requested SASL mechanism is not available, an exception is thrown. If the object has been disconnected from an LDAP server, this method attempts to reconnect to the server. If the object had already authenticated, the old authentication is discarded.

Specified by:

bind in interface LDAPBind

Parameters:

ldc - an active connection to a server, which will have the new authentication state on return from the method

Throws:

LDAPException - Failed to authenticate to the LDAP server.
