<itemizedlist>
<para>OpenDJ offers two alternatives for RESTful access to directory
data.</para>
<listitem>
<para>OpenDJ directory server has an HTTP connection handler that exposes
the RESTful API over HTTP (or HTTPS). You configure the mapping between
JSON resources and LDAP entries by editing the configuration file for the
HTTP connection handler, by default
<filename>/path/to/opendj/config/http-config.json</filename>.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>The OpenDJ REST LDAP gateway runs as a Servlet independent from your
directory service. You configure the gateway to access your directory service
by editing <filename>opendj-rest2ldap-servlet.json</filename> where you
deploy the gateway web application.</para>
</listitem>

<term>"authenticationFilter" (required)</term>
<listitem>
<para>Configures the REST LDAP authentication filter. If the configuration

<varlistentry>
<term>"reference"</term>
<listitem>
<para>Maps a JSON field to an LDAP entry found by reference.</para>
<para>This mapping works for LDAP attributes whose values reference
other entries. This is shown in the following example from the
default configuration. The LDAP <literal>manager</literal>
attribute values are user entry DNs. Here, the JSON
<literal>manager</literal> field takes the user ID and name from
the entry referenced by the LDAP attribute. On updates, changes
to the JSON manager <literal>_id</literal> affect which manager
entry is referenced, yet any changes to the manager's name are
discarded, because changing managers only affects which user entry
to point to, not the referenced user's name.</para>
