What's the correct way to reuse LDAP beans/connection settings?

I'm trying to create an action which accesses LDAP.If I define the action bean in /extension/subsystems/Synchronization/ldap/ldap1/my-ldap-context.xml then I would normally expect to be able to access it using org.alfresco.repo.management.subsystems.SubsystemProxyFactory but that doesn't work for th

You don't need to define your action bean in /extension/subsystems/Synchronization/ldap/ldap1/my-ldap-context.xml or import common-ldap-context.xml. You can define your action in regular way.

You can try to do it like this:
1.Make your action implements spring InitializingBean and In your action reference interface ChildApplicationContextManager
public class YourAction implements InitializingBean{
   private ChildApplicationContextManager authenticationContextManager;
   private LDAPInitialDirContextFactory ldapInitialDirContextFactory;
   public void setAuthenticationContextManager(ChildApplicationContextManager authenticationContextManager) {
   this.authenticationContextManager = authenticationContextManager;
   }
   @Override
   public void afterPropertiesSet() throws Exception {
   for(String contextName : authenticationContextManager.getInstanceIds()){
      ApplicationContext ctx = authenticationContextManager.getApplicationContext(contextName);
      try{
            ldapInitialDirContextFactory = LDAPInitialDirContextFactory)
            ctx.getBean(LDAPInitialDirContextFactory.class);
         } catch(NoSuchBeanDefinitionException e) {}
      }

}
}
2.And in your action spring file inject Authentication bean to your action authenticationContextManager property
<property name="authenticationContextManager" ref="Authentication" />
3. override afterPropertiesSet method of your action and get ldapInitialDirContextFactory bean like previous code.

I see this has had quite a lot of views recently so thought it might be helpful to add a link to the implementation I ended up with:
