Overrides:

defaultToPromptForBindPassword in class LDAPCommandLineTool

Returns:

true if this tool should default to interactively prompting for the bind password, or false if not.

supportsSASLHelp

protected boolean supportsSASLHelp()

Indicates whether this tool should provide a "--help-sasl" argument that provides information about the supported SASL mechanisms and their associated properties.

Overrides:

supportsMultipleServers

protected boolean supportsMultipleServers()

Indicates whether this tool supports creating connections to multiple servers. If it is to support multiple servers, then the "--hostname" and "--port" arguments will be allowed to be provided multiple times, and will be required to be provided the same number of times. The same type of communication security and bind credentials will be used for all servers.

Overrides:

supportsMultipleServers in class LDAPCommandLineTool

Returns:

true if this tool supports creating connections to multiple servers, or false if not.

supportsSSLDebugging

protected boolean supportsSSLDebugging()

Indicates whether this tool should provide a command-line argument that allows for low-level SSL debugging. If this returns true, then an "--enableSSLDebugging" argument will be added that sets the "javax.net.debug" system property to "all" before attempting any communication.

Retrieves an optional message that may provide additional information about the way that the tool completed its processing. For example if the tool exited with an error message, it may be useful for this method to return that error message.

The message returned by this method is intended for informational purposes and is not meant to be parsed or programmatically interpreted.

Overrides:

getToolCompletionMessage in class CommandLineTool

Returns:

An optional message that may provide additional information about the completion state for this tool, or null if no completion message is available.
