Project description
Tool for testing code speaking with LDAP server. Allows to easily configure and run an embedded, in-memory LDAP server. Uses UnboundID LDAP SDK through Py4J. Requires Java runtime on the system path to run the server.
Installation
With pip:
pip install python-ldap-test
When installing from source:
git clone https://github.com/zoldar/python-ldap-test cd python-ldap-test python setup.py install # you may need root privileges if installing system-wide
Usage
Example library usage with Python ldap client.
from ldap_test import LdapServer server = LdapServer() try: server.start() dn = server.config['bind_dn'] pw = server.config['password'] con = ldap.initialize('ldap://localhost:%s' % (server.config['port'],)) con.simple_bind_s(dn, pw) base_dn = server.config['base']['dn'] filter = '(objectclass=domain)' attrs = ['dc'] print con.search_s(base_dn, ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE, filter, attrs) finally: server.stop()
Another example with non-standard settings:
from ldap_test import LdapServer server = LdapServer({ 'port': 3333, 'bind_dn': 'cn=admin,dc=zoldar,dc=net', 'password': 'pass1', 'base': {'objectclass': ['domain'], 'dn': 'dc=zoldar,dc=net', 'attributes': {'dc': 'zoldar'}}, 'entries': [ {'objectclass': 'domain', 'dn': 'dc=users,dc=zoldar,dc=net', 'attributes': {'dc': 'users'}}, {'objectclass': 'organization', 'dn': 'o=foocompany,dc=users,dc=zoldar,dc=net', 'attributes': {'o': 'foocompany'}}, ] }) try: server.start() dn = "cn=admin,dc=zoldar,dc=net" pw = "pass1" con = ldap.initialize('ldap://localhost:3333') con.simple_bind_s(dn, pw) base_dn = 'dc=zoldar,dc=net' filter = '(objectclass=domain)' attrs = ['o'] print con.search_s(base_dn, ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE, filter, attrs) finally: server.stop()
The server initial configuration is represented by a simple dict, which may contain one or more optional parameters:
port - a port on which the LDAP server will listen
bind_dn - bind DN entry for authentication
password - authentication password
base - base DN entry
entries - a list of dicts representing intially loaded entries in the database. attributes are optional here
ldifs - a list of strings representing file paths to the LDIF files to load on start, like ..., 'ldifs': ['path/to/file1.ldif', 'path/to/file2.ldif'], ...
The format of entry in entries as well as base is following:
{'dn': 'o=some,dc=example,dc=com', # DN identifying the entry 'objectclass': ['top', 'organization'], # objectclass may be either a # string in case of a single # class or a list of classes 'attributes': { # attributes are optional 'o': 'some' # every attribute may have either a single value # or multiple values in a list like # 'ou': ['Value1', 'Value2', ...] } }
