 <h1 id="building">8a. Building an LDAP Test Plan<a class="sectionlink" href="#building" title="Link to here">&para;</a>
 </h1>

 <p>In this section, you will learn how to create a basic Test Plan to test an LDAP server.
 You will create four users that send requests for four tests on the LDAP server. Also, you will tell
 the users to run their tests 4 times. So,  the total number of requests is (4 users) x (4 requests) x
 (repeat 4 times) = 64 LDAP requests. To construct the Test Plan, you will use the following elements:
 <a href="test_plan.html#thread_group">Thread Group</a>,
 <a href="../usermanual/component_reference.html#LDAP_Request">LDAP Request</a>,
 <a href="../usermanual/component_reference.html#LDAP_Request_Defaults">LDAP Request Defaults</a>, and
 <a href="../usermanual/component_reference.html#View_Results_in_Table">View Results in Table</a>
 .</p>

 <p>This example assumes that the LDAP Server is available at ldap.test.com.</p>

 </div>
 <div class="section">
 <h1 id="adding_users">8a.1 Adding Users<a class="sectionlink" href="#adding_users" title="Link to here">&para;</a>
 </h1>

 <p>The first step you want to do with every JMeter Test Plan is to add a Thread Group element.
 The Thread Group tells JMeter the number of users you want to simulate, how often the users should send
 requests, and the how many requests  they should send.</p>

 <p>Go ahead and add the ThreadGroup element by first selecting the Test Plan, clicking your
 right mouse button to get the <span class="menuchoice"><span class="guimenuitem">Add</span></span> menu, and then select
 <span class="menuchoice"><span class="guimenuitem">Add</span>&nbsp;&rarr;&nbsp;<span class="guimenuitem">ThreadGroup</span></span>. You should now see the
 Thread Group element under Test Plan. If you do not see the element, then "expand" the Test Plan tree by
 clicking on the Test Plan element.

 Then,  select this new element to view its Control Panel.</p>

 <p>Like most JMeter elements, the <span class="code">Login  Config Element</span>'s Control Panel has a name
 field that you can modify. In this example, leave this field with the default value.</p>

 <h1 id="add_requests">8a.4 Adding LDAP Requests<a class="sectionlink" href="#add_requests" title="Link to here">&para;</a>

 <p>In our Test Plan, we need to make four LDAP requests.</p>

 <ol>

 <li>Inbuilt Add Test</li>

 <li>Inbuilt Search Test</li>

 <li>Inbuilt Modify Test</li>

 <li>Inbuilt Delete Test</li>


 </ol>

 <p>JMeter sends requests in the order that you add them to the tree.
 Start by adding the first LDAP Request to the LDAP Users element
 (<span class="menuchoice"><span class="guimenuitem">Add</span>&nbsp;&rarr;&nbsp;<span class="guimenuitem">Sampler</span>&nbsp;&rarr;&nbsp;<span class="guimenuitem">LDAP Request</span></span>). Then, select the LDAP Request  element in the tree
 and edit the following properties</p>

 <ol>

 <li>Rename to "<span class="code">Add</span>" this element</li>

 <li>Select the <span class="code">Add Test</span> radio button in <span class="code">Test Configuration</span> group</li>

 </ol>

 <figcaption>
                   Figure 8a.4.1 LDAP Request for Inbuilt Add test</figcaption>

 <p>You do not have to set the <span class="code">Servername</span> field, <span class="code">port</span> field, <span class="code">Username</span>, <span class="code">Password</span>
 and <span class="code">DN</span> because you already specified this value in the <span class="code">Login Config Element</span> and
 <span class="code">LDAP Request Defaults.</span>
 </p>

 <p>Next, add the second LDAP Request and edit the following
 properties</p>

 <ol>

 <li>Rename to "<span class="code">Search</span>" this element</li>

 <li>Select the <span class="code">Search Test</span> radio button in <span class="code">Test Configuration</span> group</li>

 </ol>

 <p>
         Next, add the Third LDAP Request and edit the following properties
         </p>

 <div class="section">
 <h1 id="ResponseAssertion">8a.5 Adding a Response Assertion<a class="sectionlink" href="#ResponseAssertion" title="Link to here">&para;</a>

 <p>You can add a Response Assertion element.
  This element will check the received response data by verifying if the response text is "<span class="code">successful</span>".
   (<span class="menuchoice"><span class="guimenuitem">Add</span>&nbsp;&rarr;&nbsp;<span class="guimenuitem">Assertion</span>&nbsp;&rarr;&nbsp;<span class="guimenuitem">Response Assertion</span></span>).</p>

 <p>The final element you need to add to your Test Plan is a Listener.
  This element is responsible for storing all of the results of your LDAP
 requests in a file  and presenting a visual model of the data. Select the LDAP
 Users element and add a View Results in Table

	<h1 id="building">8a. Building an LDAP Test Plan<a class="sectionlink" href="#building" title="Link to here">¶</a>
	</h1>

	<p>In this section, you will learn how to create a basic Test Plan to test an LDAP server.
	You will create four users that send requests for four tests on the LDAP server. Also, you will tell
	the users to run their tests 4 times. So, the total number of requests is (4 users) x (4 requests) x
	(repeat 4 times) = 64 LDAP requests. To construct the Test Plan, you will use the following elements:
	<a href="test_plan.html#thread_group">Thread Group</a>,
	<a href="../usermanual/component_reference.html#LDAP_Request">LDAP Request</a>,
	<a href="../usermanual/component_reference.html#LDAP_Request_Defaults">LDAP Request Defaults</a>, and
	<a href="../usermanual/component_reference.html#View_Results_in_Table">View Results in Table</a>
	.</p>

	<p>This example assumes that the LDAP Server is available at ldap.test.com.</p>

	</div>
	<div class="section">
	<h1 id="adding_users">8a.1 Adding Users<a class="sectionlink" href="#adding_users" title="Link to here">¶</a>
	</h1>

	<p>The first step you want to do with every JMeter Test Plan is to add a Thread Group element.
	The Thread Group tells JMeter the number of users you want to simulate, how often the users should send
	requests, and the how many requests they should send.</p>

	<p>Go ahead and add the ThreadGroup element by first selecting the Test Plan, clicking your
	right mouse button to get the <span class="menuchoice"><span class="guimenuitem">Add</span></span> menu, and then select
	<span class="menuchoice"><span class="guimenuitem">Add</span> → <span class="guimenuitem">ThreadGroup</span></span>. You should now see the
	Thread Group element under Test Plan. If you do not see the element, then "expand" the Test Plan tree by
	clicking on the Test Plan element.

	Then, select this new element to view its Control Panel.</p>

	<p>Like most JMeter elements, the <span class="code">Login Config Element</span>'s Control Panel has a name
	field that you can modify. In this example, leave this field with the default value.</p>

	<h1 id="add_requests">8a.4 Adding LDAP Requests<a class="sectionlink" href="#add_requests" title="Link to here">¶</a>

	<p>In our Test Plan, we need to make four LDAP requests.</p>

	<ol>

	<li>Inbuilt Add Test</li>

	<li>Inbuilt Search Test</li>

	<li>Inbuilt Modify Test</li>

	<li>Inbuilt Delete Test</li>


	</ol>

	<p>JMeter sends requests in the order that you add them to the tree.
	Start by adding the first LDAP Request to the LDAP Users element
	(<span class="menuchoice"><span class="guimenuitem">Add</span> → <span class="guimenuitem">Sampler</span> → <span class="guimenuitem">LDAP Request</span></span>). Then, select the LDAP Request element in the tree
	and edit the following properties</p>

	<ol>

	<li>Rename to "<span class="code">Add</span>" this element</li>

	<li>Select the <span class="code">Add Test</span> radio button in <span class="code">Test Configuration</span> group</li>

	</ol>

	<p>You do not have to set the <span class="code">Servername</span> field, <span class="code">port</span> field, <span class="code">Username</span>, <span class="code">Password</span>
	and <span class="code">DN</span> because you already specified this value in the <span class="code">Login Config Element</span> and
	<span class="code">LDAP Request Defaults.</span>
	</p>

	<p>Next, add the second LDAP Request and edit the following
	properties</p>

	<ol>

	<li>Rename to "<span class="code">Search</span>" this element</li>

	<li>Select the <span class="code">Search Test</span> radio button in <span class="code">Test Configuration</span> group</li>
