For my validation application (now christened “Project Mirabel” after the Encanto character Mirabel Madrigal), I want to add user validation and authentication via connection to our internal LDAP server
I think the solution is to build a custom version of BaseX server that replaces the build-in base User implementation with one that uses JNDI to talk to the LDAP server for user validation and authentication. Looking at the Java code I’m not quite sure what the best way to go about this is but I think it’s to provide a library that provides my custom LDAP-using User classes and then replace the built-in user module implementation with one that uses my User classes rather than the base User classes. Am I on the right track? I didn’t see anything that looked like a way to do a run-time configuration of the classes used for authentication. I kind of expected something like a UserValidator interface that is then used by the UserCheck implementation, which would allow for different UserValidator implementations to be set at runtime but the code is much simpler than that, which is obviously sufficient for the majority of BaseX uses.
