title: A Basic Spring 3.1 LDAP Example
body: <p>I've been looking for a very basic example of using LDAP authentication in Spring 3.1.   In the docs for the security download I found a page similar to this one</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://3.3%20LDAP%20Sample%20%20The%20LDAP%20sample%20application%20provides%20a%20basic%20configuration%20and%20sets%20up%20both%20a%20namespace%20configuration%20and%20an%20equivalent%20configuration%20using%20traditional%20beans,%20both%20in%20the%20same%20application%20context%20file.%20This%20means%20there%20are%20actually%20two%20identical%20authentication%20providers%20configured%20in%20this%20application." rel="nofollow">http://static.springsource.org/spring-security/site/docs/3.0.x/reference/sample-apps.html</a></p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>3.3 LDAP Sample</p>
    
    <p>The LDAP sample application provides a basic configuration and sets up
    both a namespace configuration and an equivalent configuration using
    traditional beans, both in the same application context file. This
    means there are actually two identical authentication providers
    configured in this application.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Trouble is, it is not there in the distribution or I am having a brain fart.  Can anyone tell where I can find it or another modern Spring LDAP sample?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance</p>
