slapd-server-mock

slapd-server-mock is a local/mock LDAP server intended to emulate slapd (OpenLDAP) behavior for testing. It helps integration tests and development environments simulate LDAP operations without relying on a real directory service.

Secret Handling

Security posture depends on deployment configuration (e.g., whether TLS/LDAPS is enabled and how credentials are handled). As a mock, it may default to weaker security settings appropriate for tests rather than real-world hardening.

Best When

You need a controllable, lightweight LDAP endpoint for automated tests and want to avoid external dependencies.

Avoid When

You require full protocol/feature parity with production slapd/OpenLDAP or strong guarantees around schema correctness, replication, or security hardening.

Use Cases

• CI/integration testing of applications that depend on LDAP lookups/authentication
• Development and QA environments that need deterministic LDAP responses
• Testing LDAP client behavior (bind, search, schema/entry handling) against a controllable server

Not For

• Production use as a real directory service
• Security testing of hardened LDAP deployments
• Workloads requiring real-world LDAP performance at scale

Authentication

Methods: LDAP bind (exact mechanism depends on configuration; typically simple bind or anonymous for mocks)

OAuth: No Scopes: No

As a mock LDAP server, authentication is generally performed via LDAP bind, not OAuth or API keys. The exact auth modes are not confirmed from the provided information.

Pricing

Free tier: No

Requires CC: No

Mock services are typically self-hosted; pricing details are not provided in the prompt.

Known Gotchas

⚠ LDAP protocol interactions are stateful (bind/session), so the agent/test harness must maintain connection context correctly.
⚠ Mocks may not implement the full LDAP schema/extension set; tests may pass but not reflect production behavior.

Alternatives

OpenLDAP running in Docker for more realistic testing LDAP server simulators/mocks that support scripting of responses In-memory LDAP-like test doubles (where available) or stubbing LDAP client calls
