LDAP Request

Part of the Samplers category. Also documented in context in the full Component Reference.

This Sampler lets you send a different LDAP request(Add, Modify, Delete and Search) to an LDAP server. If you are going to send multiple requests to the same LDAP server, consider using an LDAP Request Defaults Configuration Element so you do not have to enter the same information for each LDAP Request.

The same way the Login Config Element also using for Login and password.

There are two ways to create test cases for testing an LDAP Server.

1. Inbuilt Test cases.
2. User defined Test cases.

There are four test scenarios of testing LDAP. The tests are given below:

1. Add Test 1. Inbuilt test: This will add a pre-defined entry in the LDAP Server and calculate the execution time. After execution of the test, the created entry will be deleted from the LDAP Server. 2. User defined test: This will add the entry in the LDAP Server. User has to enter all the attributes in the table.The entries are collected from the table to add. The execution time is calculated. The created entry will not be deleted after the test.
2. Modify Test 1. Inbuilt test: This will create a pre-defined entry first, then will modify the created entry in the LDAP Server.And calculate the execution time. After execution of the test, the created entry will be deleted from the LDAP Server. 2. User defined test: This will modify the entry in the LDAP Server. User has to enter all the attributes in the table. The entries are collected from the table to modify. The execution time is calculated. The entry will not be deleted from the LDAP Server.
3. Search Test 1. Inbuilt test: This will create the entry first, then will search if the attributes are available. It calculates the execution time of the search query. At the end of the execution,created entry will be deleted from the LDAP Server. 2. User defined test: This will search the user defined entry(Search filter) in the Search base (again, defined by the user). The entries should be available in the LDAP Server. The execution time is calculated.
4. Delete Test 1. Inbuilt test: This will create a pre-defined entry first, then it will be deleted from the LDAP Server. The execution time is calculated. 2. User defined test: This will delete the user-defined entry in the LDAP Server. The entries should be available in the LDAP Server. The execution time is calculated.

Name	Required	Description
Name	No	Descriptive name for this sampler that is shown in the tree.
Server Name or IP	Yes	Domain name or IP address of the LDAP server. JMeter assumes the LDAP server is listening on the default port (389).
Port	Yes	Port to connect to (default is 389).
root DN	Yes	Base DN to use for LDAP operations
Username	Usually	LDAP server username.
Password	Usually	LDAP server password. (N.B. this is stored unencrypted in the test plan)
Entry DN	Yes, if User Defined Test and Add Test or Modify Test is selected	the name of the context to create or Modify; may not be empty. :::note You have to set the right attributes of the object yourself. So if you want to add cn=apache,ou=test you have to add in the table name and value to cn and apache. :::
Delete	Yes, if User Defined Test and Delete Test is selected	the name of the context to Delete; may not be empty
Search base	Yes, if User Defined Test and Search Test is selected	the name of the context or object to search
Search filter	Yes, if User Defined Test and Search Test is selected	the filter expression to use for the search; may not be null
add test	Yes, if User Defined Test and add Test is selected	Use these name, value pairs for creation of the new object in the given context
modify test	Yes, if User Defined Test and Modify Test is selected	Use these name, value pairs for modification of the given context object
