Cukes LDAP

cukes-ldap is an extension to cukes framework that brings capabilities to manipulate data stored in LDAP-based storages.

Typical use case include (but not limited to):

• Using LDAP as simple data storage (similar to RDBMS)
• Reading data from Active Directory

Resources

• LDAP

Sample test

Here is a simple test:

Feature: Read entity showcase
  Scenario: Read admin user
    When the client retrieves entity by DN "uid=admin,ou=system"
    Then entity contains attribute "uid" with value "admin"
    And entity contains attribute "displayname" with value "Directory Superuser"

It does not do much, however it shows the basic syntax - perform LDAP lookup and verify retrieved results.
