Okey doke, new patch attached. The LDAPConfigStore no longer reads
the entry on construction, and the LDAPProfileSubsystem reads the
config from the incoming persistent search results and loads it into
the LDAPConfigStore.
ACK.
There are some minor issues, they can be addressed separately:
1. The try-catch blocks inside the while loop in run() probably can be
combined. If an error occurs and it's still (!stopped) it will sleep for
a while before continuing.
2. The profileId should be obtained from the cn in the DN instead of
from the cn in the entry since the cn in the entry could have multiple
values:
String profileId = (String)
ldapProfile.getAttribute("cn").getStringValues().nextElement();
3. In LDAPProfileSubsystem.createProfile() the mProfileIds is guarded
against duplicates:
if (!mProfiles.containsKey(id))
mProfileIds.addElement(id);
but in ProfileSubsystem.createProfile() it's not:
mProfileIds.addElement(id);
I think they should be consistent:
4. Related to #3, I think the mProfileIds can be replaced with
mProfiles.keys() which contains unique profile IDs.
