How to test LDAP?

Testing LDAP with Docker

Clone administration repo and run ldap-testing/start.sh to start a LDAP server

git clone https://github.com/owncloud/administration
administration/ldap-testing/start.sh

Fill the LDAP instance with a zombie army

Run administration/ldap-testing/batchCreateUsers.php from the same folder in the administration repo.

cd administration/ldap-testing/
php batchCreateUsers.php

Fill the LDAP instance with multiple zombie armies (groups)

Edit administration/ldap-testing/config.php with desired parameters

Run administration/ldap-testing/batchCreateUsersInGroups.php from the same folder in the administration repo.

cd administration/ldap-testing/
gedit config.php
php batchCreateUsersInGroups.php

Setup user_ldap

Tested config:

• Server: localhost, Port: gets autodetected (if not click the "detect port" button)
• User DN: cn=admin,dc=owncloud,dc=com
• Password: admin
• Base DN: dc=owncloud,dc=com (gets autodetected once you have filled Server, Port, User DN and Password)
• User Filter: inetOrgPerson as object class should be fine (default value)
• Login Filter: LDAP Username works (default value)
• Group Filter: not needed
• Advanced -> Directory Settings -> User Display Name Field: displayName (camelCase ;))
• Expert -> UUID Attribute for Users: uid
• Advanced -> Directory Settings -> Group-Member association: memberUid (without memberof) or member (with memberof)

How to login as LDAP user

Every zombie has a user name (e.g. zombie294), which you can use to login on ownCloud. As password use the username. You can find all usernames with PHPLDAPAdmin

Happy Testing
