Result:

In Project Management > Business Objects a new AuthenticationProvider class is generated.

Example:

package com.company.example.business;

import javax.naming.directory.DirContext;

import com.xdev.security.authentication.Authenticator;
import com.xdev.security.authentication.AuthenticatorProvider;
import com.xdev.security.authentication.CredentialsUsernamePassword;
import com.xdev.security.authentication.ldap.LDAPAuthenticator;
import com.xdev.security.authentication.ldap.LDAPConfiguration.LDAPConfigurationBuilder;

public class MyAuthenticationProvider implements AuthenticatorProvider<CredentialsUsernamePassword, DirContext> {
    private static MyAuthenticationProvider INSTANCE;

    public static MyAuthenticationProvider getInstance() {
        if (INSTANCE == null) {
            INSTANCE = new MyAuthenticationProvider();
        }

        return INSTANCE;
    }

    private LDAPAuthenticator authenticator;

    private MyAuthenticationProvider() {
    }

    @Override
    public Authenticator<CredentialsUsernamePassword, DirContext> provideAuthenticator() {
        if (this.authenticator == null) {
            this.authenticator = new LDAPAuthenticator(
                    new LDAPConfigurationBuilder("ldap://192.168.90.7:389/dc=yourDomainComponent,dc=local")
                            .searchBase("OU=SBSUsers,OU=Users,OU=MyBusiness").suffix("@YOURDOMAIN.LOCAL")
                            .securityAuthentication("simple").build());
        }

        return this.authenticator;
    }
