LDAP Testing with Java: ApacheDS vs Embedded-LDAP-JUnit

Mon, 04 Jul 2016 00:00:00 +0200

When writing applications that interchange information with LDAP directory services there is always the need to write integration tests for these components and services.

Therefore we need a the possibility to start-up an embedded LDAP server, fill it with test-data and control its life-cycle during the test-phases.

In the following tutorial I’d like to demonstrate two candidates that fulfil this purpose, the ApacheDS test integrations and a small library named embedded-ldap-junit.

I am currently working on a plugin that needs to receive some information from an LDAP/Active Directory using JNDI. That’s why I needed to set up a directory server in a short time and I didn’t want to waste much effort for here. Luckily for me the Apache Directory Studio saved my day and allowed me to set up everything I needed in a few minutes.

Short and sweet: In this tutorial I’m going to show you how to configure everything you need in your Eclipse IDE and finally how to query the created LDAP server with a tiny java client using JNDI.
