SPRING BOOT LDAP GETS SSL BUNDLES

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Spring · Composed from the cited sources · methodology

Spring Boot's LDAP auto-configuration now honors named SSL bundles, closing a gap that silently shipped plaintext trust material.

Spring Boot merged SSL bundle support into LDAP auto-configuration [1], letting you point `spring.ldap.ssl.bundle` at a named bundle. The polish commit [2] matters more than it looks: it routes the bundle through the context source's base environment because the old strategy hook was skipped for anonymous read-only ops, meaning LDAPS previously fell back to JVM defaults. Docker Compose LDAP config gets the same treatment [3]. Meanwhile, spring-integration is chasing breaking changes in Spring Framework 7.1.0-SNAPSHOT [4], forcing `MessageConversionException` instead of silently dropping null converter results across JMS paths. On the equality front, `AdviceMessage` gets a fixed `equals()` contract [5]; four of six new tests fail against the old code, so this is a real hash/equals violation. spring-kafka fixes a resource leak where `DelegatingByTopicSerialization.close()` never closed its default delegate [6], and spring-ldap gardens its tooling with an automated dependabot updater [7] and a CheckstyleAll task [8]. All told, 28 commits and 10 PRs across four repos. The 7.1.0 snapshot churn is the thing to watch; if you track Spring Framework milestones, plan for those JMS behavior changes.
