Hi Vishal,

My answer may be late, however, for getting the LDAP server context you need the specific server and its id. For example: https://github.com/liferay/liferay-portal/blob/master/modules/apps/portal-security/portal-security-ldap-impl/src/main/java/com/liferay/portal/security/ldap/internal/exportimport/LDAPUserImporterImpl.java#L541-L542

So first you need to get the LDAP server like it's done in the original implementation of that method: https://github.com/liferay/liferay-portal/blob/master/modules/apps/portal-security/portal-security-ldap-impl/src/main/java/com/liferay/portal/security/ldap/internal/exportimport/LDAPUserImporterImpl.java#L519-L526

In the latter code, the importUsers method called contains the first linked LDAP server context initialization.

You can use LDAPUtil.getContext() to retrieve the LDAP context. Pass the required parameters such as companyId and configuration values for the LDAP server.

Requirement:

While running the import interval, I want to prevent the import of new users from LDAP to Liferay. Instead, I only want to check the existing users in both LDAP and Liferay.

Implementation:

To achieve this, I have implemented the LDAPUserImporter interface and overridden the importUsers(long companyId) method in my custom import class. In this method, I need to obtain the LDAP context to perform the required operations. Could someone please assist with how to retrieve the LDAP context in this scenario?

@Override
public void importUsers(long companyId) throws Exception {
    _log.info("Entering importUsers for a specific company");
    _log.debug("Company ID: " + companyId);

    // Fetch users from LDAP
    List<User> usersFromLDAP = getUsersFromLDAP(companyId);

    // Only import existing users
    for (User user : usersFromLDAP) {
        try {
            // Skip new users or deactivate users based on your custom logic
            _log.info("Importing user: " + user.getFullName());
            _defaultLDAPUserImporter.importUser(companyId, user.getEmailAddress(), user.getScreenName());
        } catch (Exception e) {
            _log.error("Error importing user: " + user.getScreenName(), e);
        }
    }

    _log.info("Exiting importUsers for a specific company");
}
