This is a collection of scripts (shell, perl, python) I use when testing Fedora Directory Server.

Server Management Code

Directory Server management code is in dsadmin.py – this uses python-ldap to manage Fedora Directory Server – it provides

• code to manage suffixes and database backends, including chaining backends
• code to manage replication – set up replicas, replication agreements, init replicas, check status
• an Entry class – a high level interface to the lower level python-ldap functions and data structures
  

  
   from dsadmin import DSAdmin, Entry
   host1 = "myhost"
   host2 = "otherhost"
   port = 389
   rootdn = "cn=Directory Manager"
   rootpw = "itsasecret"
   srv1 = DSAdmin(host1, port, rootdn, rootpw)
   replargs = {
  	'suffix': "dc=example,dc=com",
  	'bename': "userRoot",
  	'binddn': "cn=replrepl,cn=config",
  	'bindcn': "replrepl",
  	'bindpw': "replrepl"

• ‘log’ : False
  }
  srv1.replicaSetupAll(replargs)
  srv2 = DSAdmin(host2, port, rootdn, rootpw)
  srv2.replicaSetupAll(replargs)

agmt1 = srv1.setupAgreement(srv2, replargs) srv1.startReplication(agmt1) print "Replication status is ", srv1.getReplStatus(agmt1) agmt2 = srv2.setupAgreement(srv1, replargs) dn = “cn=test,dc=example,dc=com” ent = Entry(dn) ent.setValues(“objectclass”, “person”) ent.setValues(“sn”, “Test”) srv1.add(ent) # use try to catch exceptions

1. sleep for a second or two
   ent = srv2.getEntry(dn, ldap.SCOPE_BASE)
   print “entry was replicated”, ent
   

There are two Perl modules that provide similar functionality:

• NDSAdmin.pm – uses Mozilla::LDAP
• NDSAdminNL.pm – uses Net::LDAP
