FakeNetLdap¶ ↑

FakeNetLdap is a helper for faking LDAP sarches made via the net-ldap library. It works at a global level, without requiring modification of code or writing of extensive stubs.

It is pretty limited in what it can do.

If it is used, all calls to bind, auth, and search are intercepted and not passed on to the net-ldap library.

Queries must be made using Net::LDAP search method.

Responses to queries must be registered otherwise a FakeNetLdap::ConnectionNotAllowed exception is raised.

The registered responses are yielded to a block passed to the search method.

Start by requiring FakeNetLdap:

require 'rubygems'
require 'fake_net_ldap'

FakeNetLdap.register_user(:username => "fred", :password => "secret")

connection = Net::LDAP.new
connection.auth("fred", "secret")
connection.bind                   # returns true
connection.auth("fred", "forgotten")
connection.bind                   # returns false

For situations where you want to fake a single response to the search

user_filter = Net::LDAP::Filter.eq('uid', 'some-user')
FakeNetLdap.register_query(user_filter, {"name" => "Fred Blogs"})

connection = Net::LDAP.new
results = []
connection.search(:filter=> user_filter) { |r| results << r }
puts results.inspect            # => [{"name" => "Fred Blogs"}]

To provide a default response to any queries that have not been registered
use:

FakeNetLdap.clear_query_registrations
FakeNetLdap.register_query(:unregistered_query, [{"name" => "Fred Blogs"}, {"name" => "John Smith"}])

unregistered_filter = Net::LDAP::Filter.eq('uid', 'some-user')
connection = Net::LDAP.new
results = []
connection.search(:filter=> unregistered_filter) { |r| results << r }
puts results.inspect            # => [{"name" => "Fred Blogs"}, {"name" => "John Smith"}]

net-ldap

gem install fake_net_ldap
