Please add basic authentication support to LDAP mock server about ldap-server-mock

Hi @JonCook,

Thank you for your constructive criticism!

I don't think I really understand what you are trying to do.
There is actually no restriction on binding. The only restriction is that the user you bind with must have a Distinguished Name under searchBase ( defined in ldap-server-mock-conf.json).
As an exemple, If your searchBase is set to dc=test you can bind with dc=test or cn=root,dc=test or whatever Distinguished Name as far as it ends by dc=test.

You can try the following LDAP command to see it in action:

ldapsearch -D "cn=root,dc=test" -H ldap://127.0.0.1:3004 -b "dc=test" "(&(objectclass=person)(cn=user-login))" attribute1 attribute2

Note that user with Distinguished Name cn=root,dc=test should not necessary be present in the list of users but you can add it for clarity.

Hope it helps.

Hi @maxime-beguin,

Thanks for your reply! This helped a lot. I realized I just had to set my username to be the same as the search base from my Java client and my Java client continues to work with simple authentication against the mock LDAP server. Cool :-)

I'll close this ticket. Thanks again
Jon
