Is there an online LDAP emulator?

Question

I do homework with LDAP, which consists of creating LDIF files, adding them to the LDAP server, and then doing some searches and looking at the results.

To avoid installing LDAP on my computer, I am wondering if there is some kind of LDAP emulator online service where I can follow these instructions.

I saw something similar with the "online sql emulator", but not about LDAP.

Answer 1

Another alternative is the server directory directory provided by the UnboundID LDAP SDK , which I talk about here . No need to install a server. LdapListenerExample.java gives an example of using a directory server in memory. This example shows how to create a server, start it, load the schema files listed as command line parameters, and load the file containing the LDIF into the server database.

Answer 2

Unfortunately, I do not know about this.

As an alternative, I would suggest using OpenDS , which is very easy to deploy (for example, through Install using QuickSetup ) and subsequently get rid of it. The import-ldif , make-ldif and export-ldif can be useful for your work.

Answer 3

I recently wrote godap , a very minimalistic LDAP server library in Go. It does not read LDIF, but you can easily respond to bind and search operations. (This can also provide an understanding of LDAP.)
