Configuration of the LDAP plugin extension

It is required that you have sessions enabled for the web server since the extension depends on it.

• Create the jar file by using a mvn clean package
• Copy the jar file from the target directory into the Neo4J installation's 'plugins' directory
• Download the 'commons-codec-1.9.jar' and store it with the plugin in the 'plugins' directory

Add the following line to the neo4j-server.properties:

org.neo4j.server.rest.security_rules=org.theblackproject.neo4j.plugin.authentication.LDAPAuthenticationRule

1. Make sure the NEO4J_HOME environment variable is set
2. In the folder NEO4J_HOME a folder named 'conf' should be present
3. Inside the 'conf' folder, create a file named 'ldap.properties'
