Class LDAPSecureSocketFactory

java.lang.Object
  com.novell.ldap.LDAPSecureSocketFactory

All Implemented Interfaces:

org.ietf.ldap.LDAPSocketFactory, LDAPSocketFactory

Deprecated. As of January 2002 SDK, use LDAPJSSESecureSocketFactory If a JDK 1.7 is required, use of this class is a valid alternative to JSSE (which runs in JDK 1.2 or greater). Represents the socket factory that creates secure socket connections to LDAP servers.

Currently, this factory creates SSL capable socket connections to LDAP servers. It returns sockets of type com.novell.service.security.net.SecureSocket.

At the present time, only server authentication is supported, meaning the client authenticates the certificate sent from the server. Following authentication of the server's certificate, a secure SSL connection is established. The client application then performs connection, authentication, or other LDAP operations with the server as required.
