| A short LDAP Operations tutorial<a class="sectionlink" href="#ops" title="Link to here">¶</a> |
| </h1> |
| |
| <p> |
| The extended LDAP sampler was built to support testing for very complex testpurposes. |
| It was aimed at supporting the LDAP operations as close as possible. |
| In this short tutorial, I will explain which LDAP operations exist and what they do. |
| Per operation, I will shortly explain how these operations are implemented. |
| <br> |
| LDAP servers are some kind of hierarchical database, they store objects (entries) in a tree. The uppermost part of a tree is called the ROOT of the tree. |
| <br> |
| eg. When a tree starts with dc=com, the root equals dc=com. |
| <br> |
| The next level can exist under the root, eg dc=test. The full name of this object (the "distinguished name") is "dc=test,dc=com. |
| <br> |
| Again, a following level can be made, by adding the user "cn=admin" under dc=test,dc=com. This object has a DN (distinguished name) of "cn=admin,dc=test,dc=com". |
| <br> |
| The relative distinguished name (RDN) is the last part of the DN, eg. cn=admin. |
| <br> |
| The characteristics of an object are determined by the objectClasses, which can be seen as a collection of attributes. |
| <br> |
| The type of an object is determined by the "structural objectClass" eg person, organizationalUnit or country. |
| <br> |
| The attributes contain the data of an object, eg mailaddress, name, streetaddress etc. Each attribute can have 0, 1 or more values. |
| |

| <div class="subsection"> |
| <h2 id="bind"> |
| 1 Bind operation<a class="sectionlink" href="#bind" title="Link to here">¶</a> |
| </h2> |
| |
| <p> |
| Any contact with an LDAP server MUST start with a bind request. LDAP is a state dependent protocol. Without opening a session to |
| a LDAP server, no additional request can be made. |
| Due to some peculiarities in the JAVA libraries, 2 different bind operations are implemented. |
| </p> |
| |
| <div class="subsection"> |
| <h2 id="thread_bind"> |
| 1.1 Thread Bind<a class="sectionlink" href="#thread_bind" title="Link to here">¶</a> |
| </h2> |
| |
| <p> |
| This bind is meant to open a session to a LDAP server. Any testplan should use this operation as the starting point from a session. |
| For each Thread (each virtual user) a separate connection with the LDAP server is build, and so a separate Thread bind is performed. |
| </p> |
| |
| </div> |
| |
| <div class="subsection"> |
| <h2 id="single"> |
| 1.2 Single bind/unbind<a class="sectionlink" href="#single" title="Link to here">¶</a> |
| </h2> |
| |
| <p> |
| This bind is used for user authentication verification. |
| A proper developed LDAP client, who needs an authenticated user, perform a bind with a given distinguished name and password. |
| This Single bind/unbind operation is for this purpose. It builds it own separate connection to the LDAP server, performs a |
| bind operation, and ends the connection again (by sending an unbind). |
| </p> |
| |
| </div> |
| |
| </div> |
| |
| <div class="subsection"> |
| <h2 id="unbind"> |
| 2 Unbind<a class="sectionlink" href="#unbind" title="Link to here">¶</a> |
| </h2> |
| |
| <p> |
| To close a connection to a LDAP server, an unbind operation is needed. |
| As the Single bind/unbind operation already (implicitly) performs an unbind, only a Thread unbind operation is needed. |
| This Thread unbind just closes the connection and cleans up any resources it has used. |
| </p> |
| |
| </div> |
| |
| <div class="subsection"> |
| <h2 id="compare"> |
| 3 Compare<a class="sectionlink" href="#compare" title="Link to here">¶</a> |
| </h2> |
| |
| <p> |
| The compare operation needs the full distinguished name from a LDAP object, as well as a attribute and a value for the attribute. |
| It will simply check: "Has this object really this attribute with this value?". |
| Typical use is checking the membership of a certain user with a given group. |
| </p> |
| |
| </div> |
| |
| <div class="subsection"> |
| <h2 id="search"> |
| 4 Search<a class="sectionlink" href="#search" title="Link to here">¶</a> |
| </h2> |
| |
| <p> |
| The search test simply searches for all objects which comply with a given search filter, e.g. |
| all persons with a "employeeType=inactive" or "all persons with a userID equals user1" |
| </p> |
| |
| </div> |
| |
| <div class="subsection"> |
| <h2 id="add"> |
| 5 Add<a class="sectionlink" href="#add" title="Link to here">¶</a> |
| </h2> |
| |
| <p> |
| This simply add an object to the LDAP directory. |
| Off course the combination of attributes and distinguishedName must be valid! |
| </p> |
| |
| </div> |
| |
| <div class="subsection"> |
| <h2 id="modify"> |
| 6 Modify<a class="sectionlink" href="#modify" title="Link to here">¶</a> |
| </h2> |
| |
| <p> |
| This operation modifies one or more attributes from a given object. |
| It needs the distinguished name from the object, as well as the attributes and the new values for this attribute. |
| <br> |
| Three versions are available, add, for adding an attribute value |
| <br> |
| replace, for overwriting the old attribute value with a new value |
| <br> |
| delete, to delete a value form an attribute, or to delete all the values of an attribute |
| <br> |
| |
| </p> |
| |
| </div> |
| |
| <div class="subsection"> |
| <h2 id="delete"> |
| 7 Delete<a class="sectionlink" href="#delete" title="Link to here">¶</a> |
| </h2> |
| |
| <p> |
| This operation deletes an object from the LDAP server. |
| It needs the distinguished name from the object. |
| </p> |
| |
| </div> |
| |
| <div class="subsection"> |
| <h2 id="moddn"> |
| 8 modDN<a class="sectionlink" href="#moddn" title="Link to here">¶</a> |
| </h2> |
| |
| <p> |
| This operation modifies the distinguished name from an object (it "moves" the object). |
| <br> |
| It comes in two flavours, just renaming an entry, then you specify a new RDN (relative distinguished name, this is the lowest part of the DN) |
| <br> |
| e.g. you can rename "cn=admin,dc=test,dc=com" to cn=administrator,dc=test,dc=com" |
| <br> |
| The second flavour is renaming (moving) a complete subtree by specifying a "new superior" |
| <br> |
| e.g. you can move a complete subtree "ou=retired,ou=people,dc=test,dc=com" to a new subtree "ou=retired people,dc=test,dc=com" by specifying |
| a new rdn "ou=retired people" and a new superior of "dc=test,dc=com" |
