SpringBoot LDAPTemplate Embedded vs Real LDAP - spring

Question

I am using the below mentioned properties in my SpringBoot App, in application.yml file to have the LDAP Code run in my local machine.
spring:
ldap:
# Use this embedded configuration for local ldap testing
embedded:
base-dn: o=localcompany,c=US
credential:
username: uid=admin
password: secret
ldif: classpath:schemas.ldif
port: 12345
validation:
enabled: false
# Use this below configuration for Ford ldap
# urls: ldaps://mmm.mmm.com:754
# base-dn: o=****,c=US
# username:
# password: {your password goes here}
I want to have both my embedded configuration & actual configuration exist in my Application, so that it works locally as well as in my Cloud Environment. But having Embedded properties in my yml file is overwriting the actual ones even in Cloud Environment. Is there a way to have both the properties and then according to the Environment, wire the LDAPTemplate

Answer 1

I configured my LDAPTemplate using #profile annotation that would differentiate the local and Server environment and achieved what I asked above. Below is my configuration. For the Local environment, having the embedded-properties are sufficient to have LDAPTemplate wired properly
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Value;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Profile;
import org.springframework.ldap.core.LdapTemplate;
import org.springframework.ldap.core.support.LdapContextSource;
#Configuration
#Profile("cloud")
public class LDAPConfiguration {
#Value("${ldap.url}")
private String ldapUrl;
#Value("${ldap.base}")
private String ldapBase;
#Value("${ldap.username}")
private String ldapUser;
#Value("${ldap.password}")
private String ldapPassword;
#Bean
public LdapTemplate configureLdapTemplateForCloud() {
return new LdapTemplate(contextSource()) ;
}
private LdapContextSource contextSource() {
LdapContextSource ldapContextSource = new LdapContextSource();
ldapContextSource.setUrl(ldapUrl);
ldapContextSource.setBase(ldapBase);
ldapContextSource.setUserDn(ldapUser);
ldapContextSource.setPassword(ldapPassword);
ldapContextSource.afterPropertiesSet();
return ldapContextSource;
}
}
So now, when I run in my local, Spring Boot will play with my Embedded LDAP, but in the cloud profile, it will execute the actual LDAP Server.
