Hello, Because of Stefan’s work we now are hosting debian openldap running inside of docker. https://github.com/apache/directory-fortress-core/tree/master/src/docker/openldap-for-apache-fortress-tests
The benefits are: 1 - jenkins tests now run w/ latest install procs - as discussed here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FC-202# 2 - fortress quickstart with openldap simplified - as described here: https://github.com/apache/directory-fortress-core/blob/master/README-QUICKSTART-DOCKER-SLAPD.md #2 reduces the fortress learning curve by factoring ldap out of the equation. This will maximize time spent by new contributors (like Martjin and Laura), who no longer must learn new infra (ldap), just to work on projects dependent, assuming they’ve already drank the kool-aide (docker). It also helps new users who just want to try out the software, and see what it can do, before investing a bunch of time learning the nitty-gritty details of ldap that may fall outside of their core competencies. The third benefit is I have recently learned quite a lot about docker by following this progress. Nice work Stefan! Shawn
