Setting Up an LDAP Provider for Spring Security
This page describes how you can configure a Spring Security LDAP provider, which can be used by Mule 2.2 or later as follows:
-
As its security provider via SpringProviderAdapter
-
To perform component authorization
For information on configuring an in-memory provider, see Configuring Security.
JAR Files
The Mule software distribution provides the Spring .jar
files you need in the <distribution>/lib/opt
directory:
-
spring-ldap-core-2.0.2.RELEASE.jar
-
spring-security-config-4.0.1.RELEASE.jar
-
spring-security-core-4.0.1.RELEASE.jar
-
spring-security-ldap-4.0.1.RELEASE.jar
-
spring-security-web-4.0.1.RELEASE.jar
Declaring the Beans
You must set up two beans in Spring, a DefaultSpringSecurityContextSource and an LdapAuthenticationProvider. The DefaultSpringSecurityContextSource
is the access point for obtaining an LDAP context where the LdapAuthenticationProvider
provides integration with the LDAP server. For example:
Set up an LDAP context source for use by the Spring security authentication provider to search and authenticate your users. Also, you need to define an authentication manager with an embedded LDAP authentication provider as shown:
More information about the LDAP authentication provider and the different mechanisms to authenticate users against your LDAP server can be found here: LDAP. See also: Spring Security Reference.
Configuring the Mule Security Provider
The SpringSecurityProviderAdapter
delegates to an AuthenticationProvider
such as the LdapAuthenticationProvider
.
<mule-ss:security-manager>
<mule-ss:delegate-security-provider name="spring-security-ldap" delegate-ref="authenticationManager"/>
</mule-ss:security-manager>
With the above configuration, you can achieve connector-level security and other security features in Mule that require one or more security providers.
Configuring the MethodSecurityInterceptor
The configuration for component authorization is similar to the one described in Component Authorization Using Spring Security. A key point of configuration is securityMetadataSource
:
<property name="securityMetadataSource" value="org.mule.api.lifecycle.Callable.onCall=ROLE_MANAGERS"/>
The roles are looked up by the DefaultLdapAuthoritiesPopulator
, which you configured in the previous section. By default, a role is prefixed with ROLE_
, and its value is extracted and converted to uppercase from the LDAP attribute defined by the groupRoleAttribute
.
