Okay,
I've since realised that I need to create SyncConfiguration() and ShutdownConfiguration() objects on the fly, after my initial connection. It feels kind of odd but it works. :)

Cheers,
Nick

Hi,
It appears that *every* client connection via JNDI must have a org.apache.apache.ldap.server.configuration.Configuration object stored within it. In other words, whenever I want to bind against an Apache DS LDAP instance:

e.g.
ldapContext = new InitialLdapContext( env, null );

   I will have to ensure that my env variable contains a config. object!

I understand that the configuration object can be gained from the Spring context but how will a remote client access it? Surely the client shouldn't have to know a thing about the configuration of the server, so long as it fulfills the general contract of behaving as an LDAP client? :) If I've misunderstood something, please let me know.

Cheers,
Nick

P.S. From org.apache.ldap.server.jndi.AbstractContextFactory:
public final synchronized Context getInitialContext( Hashtable env ) throws NamingException
   {
       Configuration cfg = Configuration.toConfiguration( env );

    //...

   From org.apache.ldap.server.configuration.Configuration:
public static Configuration toConfiguration( Hashtable jndiEnvironment )
   {
       Object value = jndiEnvironment.get( JNDI_KEY );
