Using maven :
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.directory.server</groupId>
<artifactId>apacheds-all</artifactId>
<version>1.5.7</version>
</dependency>

I doubt it is a good idea to add that big dependency (10MB!) if you need only a fraction of it. For instance, spring-security-ldap requires only 5 jars, see here : mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework.security/…

I have the same error. I'm new to Maven, but shouldn't dependencies be downloaded by Maven automatically? Why does this need to be specified explicitly in my app's pom.xml? Thanks!
If you are using Maven, these actually come from an optional dependency of spring-security-ldap.
Using apacheds-all is a bad idea because it embeds a lot of rather common dependencies, like slf4j and dom4j. You would easily get into classloader issues with it.
Instead, you should look inside the pom of the spring-security-ldap version your are using, for the apacheds optional dependencies, and copy them over to your pom without the <scope> and <optional> elements (unfortunately there is no better way to handle optional dependencies with Maven).
For instance, with spring-security-ldap 4.2.2, it would give:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.directory.server</groupId>
<artifactId>apacheds-core</artifactId>
<version>1.5.5</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.directory.server</groupId>
<artifactId>apacheds-core-entry</artifactId>
<version>1.5.5</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.directory.server</groupId>
<artifactId>apacheds-protocol-ldap</artifactId>
<version>1.5.5</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.directory.server</groupId>
<artifactId>apacheds-protocol-shared</artifactId>
<version>1.5.5</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.directory.server</groupId>
<artifactId>apacheds-server-jndi</artifactId>
<version>1.5.5</version>
</dependency>
(it looks like it hasn't changed since at least 3.2)

Download ApcheDS from below link http://directory.apache.org/ or get complete jar from here I have used to work with Spring Security 3.0.5 with LDAP (Spring LDAP 1.3). That time i didn't met requirement of ApacheDS. Check your version of Spring Secuirty which may have dependency with ApacheDS.
