NAME

Test::OpenLDAP - Creates a temporary instance of OpenLDAP's slapd daemon to run tests against.

VERSION

Version 0.72

SYNOPSIS

my $slapd = Test::OpenLDAP->new(); # Test::OpenLDAP->new( suffix => 'dc=foobar,dc=com', 'debug' => '-1' );

my $ldap = Net::LDAP->new($slapd->uri()) or Carp::croak("Failed to connect:$@");

my $mesg = $ldap->bind($slapd->admin_user(), password => $slapd->admin_password());

... add / modify / search entries

$slapd->stop();

$slapd->start();

$slapd->DESTROY();

DESCRIPTION

This module allows easy creation and tear down of a OpenLDAP slapd instance. When the variable goes out of scope, the slapd instance is torn down and the file system objects it relies on are removed.

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

new

This method initialises and starts an OpenLDAP slapd instance, listening on a unix socket. It then creates an admin user and password and returns the slapd instance to the user. The method accepts a hash of configuration options. The following keys are currently accepted;

  • suffix - specifies the suffix that subsequent LDAP queries will be procesed under (e.g. 'dc=example,dc=org')
  • debug - the debug level of the slapd instance. To see valid values for debug, execute the command "slapd -d '?'". slapd will list all the valid debug levels. It defaults to '0' or no logging.
  • syslog - the debug level of the slapd instance for syslog. This parameter accepts the same values as the debug level. It defaults to '0' or no logging to syslog

skip

This method allows the user to skip tests requiring Test::OpenLDAP by checking to see if the slapd binary exists AND that the OS uses fork for process control.

start

This methods starts the slapd process

start

This method stops the slapd process

uri

This method gives the uri for the test code to connect to via a Net::LDAP->new() call.

suffix

This method gives the dn used as the suffix for the slapd database.

admin_user

This method gives the admin user name for the slapd database.

admin_password

This method gives the admin password for the slapd database.

debug

This method gives the debug level that the slapd instance is reporting.

debug_handle

This method gives a handle to the slapd debug log.

set_cookie

This method sets the value for the "-c" argument to slapd. This can be used to force a reload for a replication consumer.

get_cookie

This method gets the value for the "-c" argument to slapd.

clear_cookie

This method clears the value for the "-c" argument to slapd. This can be used to reset the cookie in between stopping and starting slapd

new_db_directory

This method creates and returns a new database directory (for subsequent use with the olcDbDirectory attribute)

DIAGNOSTICS

  • slapd already started

    Each instance of Test::OpenLDAP may only start one instance of slapd at a time.

CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT

Test::OpenLDAP requires no configuration files or environment variables.

DEPENDENCIES

Test::OpenLDAP requires the following non-core Perl modules
