This project is a Test Driven Integration and Administration of an OpenLDAP directory, including the creation of a custom schema, the configuration of the OpenLDAP server and corresponding unit tests.
The primary goal of this project was to create a high availability OpenLDAP server with a custom schema.
The secondary goal was to show that it is possible to apply agile techniques and principles to an integration (i.e. non-developement) projet.
The project integration was driven with a test suite called shunit2. Shunit2 provides unit tests for shell scripts, it works with Bash and Zsh and maybe some other shells too.
TODO: There is not much documentation for the moment, have a look at Makefile and
tests/ldap-test.sh which contain the core of the test framework.
- Makefile: Helps launch all action (tests, deployment, etc.)
- config/: OpenLDAP and Monit configuration. The
slapd.confconfiguration file is dynamically created by the Makefile. - schema/: The project's custom schema.
- tests/: Unit tests and sample LDAP data.
- Create a TLS/SSL certfiticate for the OpenLDAP server. WARNING: The certificate's CN must correspond exactly to the LDAP server's DNS name.
- The key pair must be named "customer-ldap.crt" and "customer-ldap.key" and put in
/etc/ldap. Checkconfig/slapd.conf.templateif you need to change this name. - TODO
- Install config/openldap-backup.cron as a cron script. It handles automatic LDAP database backup and keep a number of copies (40 by default).
- Install Monit and copy the
config/monitandconfig/monitrcto the right place.
