For professional testing, I needed a test installation of an LDAP server.
This has never been easier on an Ubuntu (and it's as easy on Debian Etch):
sudo apt-get install slapdThe installer asks you for a password twice (I've put "ldap" as it's just a test install) and then writes a config file in /etc/ldap/slapd.conf and starts the service. If you go into the config file, you will see that, by default (if it didn't find any domain name definition) it will put you a cn=admin,dc=nodomain. To use it easily, why not install phpldapadmin?
sudo apt-get install phpldapadminNow get your browser to http://localhost/phpldapadmin/, enter cn=admin,dc=nodomain as a connection string, and the password you gave to the package installer (in my case, ldap) and there you go, full access to your test LDAP directory. Enjoy!
