Dereferencing Aliases in LDAP using Spring

Question

How to control LDAP Alias Dereferencing Mode using Java and Spring LDAP API? Similarly to how it is done using ldapsearch on linux.

Example:

ldapsearch -a never "(&(o=foo)(cn=bar))" cn
ldapsearch -a always "(&(o=foo)(cn=bar))" cn

Answer 1

I answer my own question.

The following does the job:

<bean id="ldapContextSource"
      class="org.springframework.ldap.core.support.LdapContextSource"
      p:url="${ldap.server.url}">
    <property name="baseEnvironmentProperties">
        <map>
            <entry key="java.naming.ldap.derefAliases" value="never"/>
        </map>
    </property>
</bean>
