Celoxis LDAP Quest is a java program to debug connection and authentication issues with an LDAP server. First, it connects to an LDAP server and authenticates using the specified admin DN and password. If successful, tries to connect as the specified combination of end-user and password.

Download

Click here to download the zip file.

This test needs to be run from the server where Celoxis will be installed; NOT from the LDAP server.

Usage

  1. Unzip the ldap-quest.zip file. It should create a folder that contains the LDAPQuest.class file.
  2. Open a terminal window on Unix/Linux OR Command prompt in Windows.

  3. Go to the folder (cd ldap-quest) that contains the LDAPQuest.class file and then type:

    java LDAPQuest <ldap-url> <admin-DN> <admin-password> <ldap-search-attr> <base-dn> <username> <password>

    You will receive a success message if the connection and details were correct.  If the connection fails and you don't understand the output simply send us the output.

Note:                

    1. For Microsoft Active Directory Service, ldap-search-attr should always be sAMAccountName
    2.  If any of the program arguments (e.g. password), contains a space or special characters, encode it within single quotes. 

Examples

  •  Connect to the ADS server

    $ java LDAPQuest ldap://ldapserver.celoxis.com cn=Administrator,cn=users,dc=celoxis,dc=com kaboom1 sAMAccountName cn=users,dc=celoxis,dc=com Joe joeIsKing1
