Thanks for the pointers in my earlier post. I have made some progress using some sample code that uses annotations to start ldap server in JUnit tests.
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/directory/apacheds/tags/2.0.0-M20/ldap-client-test/src/test/java/org/apache/directory/shared/client/api/operations/search/ClientSearchRequestTest.java?revision=1676627&view=markup However, I have run into another problem. Attempting to load the following ldif entry @ApplyLdifs( { "dn: dc=example,dc=com", "distinguishedName: dc=example,dc=com", "objectClass: top", "objectClass: domain", "dc: example", .... causes org.apache.directory.api.ldap.model.exception.LdapSchemaViolationException: ERR_277 Attribute distinguishedname not declared in objectClasses of entry dc=example,dc=com at org.apache.directory.server.core.schema.SchemaInterceptor.assertAllAttributesAllowed(SchemaInterceptor.java:1393) at org.apache.directory.server.core.schema.SchemaInterceptor.check(SchemaInterceptor.java:964) at org.apache.directory.server.core.schema.SchemaInterceptor.add(SchemaInterceptor.java:1051) at org.apache.directory.server.core.api.interceptor.BaseInterceptor.next(BaseInterceptor.java:422) at org.apache.directory.server.core.exception.ExceptionInterceptor.add(ExceptionInterceptor.java:135) at org.apache.directory.server.core.api.interceptor.BaseInterceptor.next(BaseInterceptor.java:422) at org.apache.directory.server.core.admin.AdministrativePointInterceptor.add(AdministrativePointInterceptor.java:120 It appears distinguishedName is not a valid attribute type in the schema being used. Is the code using the wrong schema type? I dont have deep knowledge in RFC definitions, but I thought this was a standard attribute. How do I resolve this issue? I need to have distinguishedName in my ldap entries to be able to test the code. Thanks in advance. Naveen
