Creating custom Java classes for searching LDAP

These topic are in progress Create custom Java™ classes that provide greater control over how Sametime conducts name searches of an LDAP directory and how results are formatted.

Implementing a custom Java class file to transform LDAP searches helps with performance when the LDAP service has a complex directory schema.

If your configuration is using the UUID attribute as the attribute of the person entry that defines the internal ID of a Sametime user, include UUID in your customized filter.

• Example: Writing a Java class to format names returned in a search
  To return a user name in a format that is not available in an LDAP directory entry attribute, you can write a Java™ class that manipulates existing information in the LDAP directory to produce the user name in the desired format.
• Example: Writing a Java class to filter searches for people and groups
  If a single search filter is not adequate to resolve user or group name searches, you can write a Java™ class containing a method that specifies exactly how directory searches are conducted. The class can invoke different LDAP search filters depending on search criteria entered by users.
• Configuring the class file on Docker and Podman
  Use a custom Java class file to transform your searches for LDAP for the community pod.
• Configuring the class file on Kubernetes
  You can use a custom Java class file to transform your searches for LDAP for the community pod.
