LDAP Terraform Provider

Overview

This Terraform provider plugin interact with LDAP declaratively using HCL.

Requirements

• Terraform 0.10.x
• Go 1.8 (to build the provider plugin)

Building The Provider

Clone repository to: $GOPATH/src/github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-ldap

$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/terraform-providers; cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/terraform-providers
$ git clone git@github.com:terraform-providers/terraform-provider-ldap

Enter the provider directory and build the provider

$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-ldap
$ make build

Using the provider

Download the release binary and copy it to the $HOME/terraform.d/plugins/<os>_<arch>/ folder. For example /home/youruser/terraform.d/plugins/linux_amd64 for a Linux environment or /Users/youruser/terraform.d/plugins/darwin_amd64 for a MacOS environment.

Developing the Provider

If you wish to work on the provider, you'll first need Go installed on your machine (version 1.8+ is required). You'll also need to correctly setup a GOPATH, as well as adding $GOPATH/bin to your $PATH.

Clone this repository to GOPATH/src/github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-ldap as its packaging structure has been defined such that it will be compatible with the Terraform provider plugin framwork in 0.10.x.

To compile the provider, run make build. This will build the provider and put the provider binary in the $GOPATH/bin directory.

$ make build
...
$ $GOPATH/bin/terraform-provider-ldap
...

Testing the Provider

In order to run the tests an LDAP server needs to be run locally using the test directory database. You can launch this server in Docker using the provided script "scripts/ldap-up.sh". Once the LDAP server is running it can be accessed via the phpLDAPadmin application launched alongside the LDAP server via this link. Once the instance is running you will need to export the following environment variables.

export LDAP_HOST=<local host IP>
export LDAP_BIND_DN=cn=admin,dc=example,dc=org
export LDAP_BIND_PASSWORD=admin

Export the following environment variable to enable debug log for the provider.

export LDAP_DEBUG=true

To launch the LDAP server in docker:

cd <repository root>
scripts/ldap-up.sh

To run the provider unit tests:

cd <repository root>/ldap
TF_ACC=1 go test -v -timeout 120m .

Acceptance tests are run against a LDAP instance in AWS before a release is created. Any other testing should be done using the local LDAP instance.

$ make testacc
