Setting up ldap on Ubuntu 9.10

Installing slapd on Ubuntu 9.10 is not enough. The configuration of slapd requires more steps. I refer to article: http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/openldap-server.html which apparently also applies to 9.10. Make sure you load the necessary schemas: 
ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /etc/ldap/schema/cosine.ldif
ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /etc/ldap/schema/nis.ldif 
ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /etc/ldap/schema/inetorgperson.ldif
My ldif file I wanted to load contains dc=ldap,dc=example,dc=ipp. So I wanted to set up a rootdn starting with same domain.
# Load dynamic backend modules
dn: cn=module,cn=config
objectClass: olcModuleList
cn: module
olcModulepath: /usr/lib/ldap
olcModuleload: back_hdb

# Database settings
dn: olcDatabase=hdb,cn=config
objectClass: olcDatabaseConfig
objectClass: olcHdbConfig
olcDatabase: {1}hdb
olcSuffix: dc=ldap,dc=example,dc=ipp
olcDbDirectory: /var/lib/ldap
olcRootDN: cn=admin,dc=ldap,dc=example,dc=ipp
olcRootPW: secret
olcDbConfig: set_cachesize 0 2097152 0
olcDbConfig: set_lk_max_objects 1500
olcDbConfig: set_lk_max_locks 1500
olcDbConfig: set_lk_max_lockers 1500
olcDbIndex: objectClass eq
olcLastMod: TRUE
olcDbCheckpoint: 512 30
olcAccess: to attrs=userPassword by dn="cn=admin,dc=ldap,dc=example,dc=ipp" write by anonymous auth by self write by * none
olcAccess: to attrs=shadowLastChange by self write by * read
olcAccess: to dn.base="" by * read
olcAccess: to * by dn="cn=admin,dc=ldap,dc=example,dc=ipp" write by * read
Note that I changed the domain, and left password to secret. Load this backend file with: 
sudo ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f backend.ldap.example.ipp.ldif
You will now need to restart your slapd daemon. Then you can add your own ldif file with data. Afterwards you can test with ldapsearch. As normal user: 
ldapsearch -x -b "dc=ldap,dc=example,dc=ipp" uid=User sn ginveName cn
ldapsearch -x -b "dc=ldap,dc=example,dc=ipp" '(objectclass=top)'
ldapsearch -x -b "dc=ldap,dc=example,dc=ipp" '(objectclass=domain)'
ldapsearch -x -b "dc=ldap,dc=example,dc=ipp" '(objectclass=person)'
ldapsearch -x -b "dc=ldap,dc=example,dc=ipp" '(objectclass=organizationalUnit)'

Interactive selenium testing

The problem Location of elements When I started using selenium, I noticed that it is not easy to do it right. First you start with IDE, but you notice, that the IDE does not really record a lot. In a next step I added firebug, and started analyzing how the elements where to be located: either by tag, id, class etc. Junit testcase With this information I could then create my junit testcase: @Test public void testMapView() throws Exception { //assert that we cannot see submenu of MapCreator elem = driver.findElement(By.className(SeleniumConstants.MAP_SUB_MENU)); String style = elem.getAttribute("style"); assertTrue("Element must have style display off.",style.matches("display: none.*")); logger.debug("Located element " + SeleniumConstants.MAP_SUB_MENU); //find menu and click on mapview elem = driver.findElement(By.id(SeleniumConstants.MAP_CONTROL)); actions.moveToElement(elem).click().perform(); //assert su...

Create a groovy console and bind to selenium

Required groovy files In the previous posting we defined the pom file that we need for our build environment. Now we will setup some groovy files to get selenium and groovy running interactively. ConsoleWaiter.groovy The idea of Groovy Console I found on some other sides. Honour goes for instance too: http://josefbetancourt.wordpress.com/tag/eclipse-2/ I copied some code of this, and put it under src/test/groovy/com/jankester/selenium/test/utils: package com.jankester.selenium.test.utils /** * File: ConsoleWaiter.groovy */ import groovy.lang.Binding; import groovy.ui.Console; /** * Provides a wrapper for the console. * * Based on source by John Green * Adapted from: http://www.oehive.org/files/ConsoleWaiter.groovy * Released under the Eclipse Public License * http://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-v10.html * * I added methods to allow use from Java. * * The run() method launches the console and causes this thread * to sleep until the console's window is closed....
