anchor.diff:  TIP: If you want to fully bypass the auto-configuration for Spring Data Couchbase, provide
   your own `org.springframework.data.couchbase.config.AbstractCouchbaseDataConfiguration`
   implementation.

  +[[boot-features-ldap]]
  +=== LDAP
  +https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightweight_Directory_Access_Protocol[LDAP] (Lightweight
  +Directory Access Protocol) is an is an open, vendor-neutral, industry standard application
  +protocol for accessing and maintaining distributed directory information services over an
  +IP network. Spring Boot offers auto-configuration for any compliant LDAP server as well
  +as support for the embedded in-memory LDAP server from
  +https://www.ldap.com/unboundid-ldap-sdk-for-java[Unbounded].
  +
  +LDAP abstractions are provided by
  +https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-data-ldap[Spring Data LDAP].
  +There is a `spring-boot-starter-data-ldap` '`Starter`' for collecting the dependencies in
  +a convenient way.
  +
  +
  +
  +[[boot-features-ldap-connecting]]
  +==== Connecting to an LDAP server
  +To connect to an LDAP server make sure you declare a dependency on the
  +`spring-boot-starter-data-ldap` '`Starter`' or `spring-ldap-core` then declare the
  +URLs of your server in your application.properties:
  +
  +[source,properties,indent=0]
  +----
  +	spring.ldap.urls=ldap://myserver:1235
  +	spring.ldap.username=admin
  +	spring.ldap.password=secret
  +----
  +
  +If you need to customize connection settings you can use the `spring.ldap.base` and
  +`spring.ldap.base-environment` properties.
  +
  +
  +
  +[[boot-features-ldap-spring-data-repositories]]
  +==== Spring Data LDAP repositories
  +Spring Data includes repository support for LDAP. For complete details of Spring
  +Data LDAP, refer to their
  +http://docs.spring.io/spring-data/ldap/docs/1.0.x/reference/html/[reference documentation].
  +
  +You can also inject an auto-configured `LdapTemplate` instance as you would with any
  +other Spring Bean.
  +
  +
  +[source,java,indent=0]
  +----
  +	@Component
  +	public class MyBean {
  +
  +		private final LdapTemplate template;
  +
  +		@Autowired
  +		public MyBean(LdapTemplate template) {
  +			this.template = template;
  +		}
  +
  +		// ...
  +
  +	}
  +----
  +
  +
  +
  +[[boot-features-ldap-embedded]]
  +==== Embedded in-memory LDAP server
  +For testing purposes Spring Boot supports auto-configuration of an in-memory LDAP server
  +from https://www.ldap.com/unboundid-ldap-sdk-for-java[Unbounded]. To configure the server
  +add a dependency to `com.unboundid:unboundid-ldapsdk` and declare a `base-dn` property:
  +
  +[source,properties,indent=0]
  +----
  +	spring.ldap.embedded.base-dn=dc=spring,dc=io
  +----
  +
  +By default the server will start on a random port and the trigger the regular LDAP support
  +(there is not need to specify a `spring.ldap.urls` property).
  +
  +If there is a `schema.ldif` file on your classpath it will be used to initialize the
  +server. You can also use the `spring.ldap.embedded.ldif` property if you want to load
  +the initialization script from a different resource.

  Spring Boot provides auto-configuration for Redis, MongoDB, Neo4j, Elasticsearch, Solr
  Cassandra, Couchbase and LDAP; you can make use of the other projects, but you will need
  to configure them yourself. Refer to the appropriate reference documentation at
  http://projects.spring.io/spring-data[projects.spring.io/spring-data].
