Spring Security LDAP Plugin 1.0.6 Errors

[ross.oreto]

I'm getting some weird errors when deploying a war (run-war) with the spring-security-ldap plugin version 1.0.6. Version 1.0.5 works fine except for the repository issues it has.  Also this runs fine when using run-app instead of run-war.

The error I get from tomcat is :

I get the same error (run-war vs run-app).   Did you find a resolution?  Like you mentioned, my problems started when I started using in BuildConfig.groovy:

compile ":spring-security-core:1.2.7.3"
compile ":spring-security-ldap:1.0.6"

Any other downsides (repository issues) to reverting to 1.0.5 of the spring-security-ldap plugin I'm considering using just to get going again?

Hi Ross,

Could you check if removing LDAP 0.8.2 fixes the issue for you?

[BinaryTENSHi]

Hi everybody,

I have the same error. Removing the LDAP 0.8.2 Plugin worked for me. But I need this plugin to run queries to my LDAP server. Is there another way to have both at the same time (to deploy a war) or can the spring-security-ldap plugin run queries to the LDAP server and get a collection of users too?

Btw: downgrading didn't work either

Hey Everyone,

I made a modification to the grails ldap plugin which fixes the error mentioned in this thread,

If you would like me to send it to you just send me a Private Message.

Best Regards,

Eduardo Gutiérrez

Here is the soluction that I've found: http://sharingcodes.blogspot.com/2012/11/grails-how-to-solve-ldap-plugin-error.html

Has there been any updates on a "proper" fix for this?

Luke, would it be possible to get the dependencies upgraded, at the very least, so that it doesn't conflict with the Spring Security LDAP plugin?

I realize that this is a rather old plugin / project, but it works _so well_ for interacting with LDAP / Active Directory that it's a shame to see it languish. If I had time, I would possibly look into expanding this into a GORM plugin, since it's not too far from it already, but alas, my time is limited.
