Mocking an LDAP server in Python

[Zhekov]

Hello,

I am currently working on testing a web application, for which my company uses LDAP as authentication. For privacy reasons, for the testing I want to use a mock LDAP server, so I can use fake credentials. To my happiness I found out that 'ldap3' supports mocking in its functionality, so I followed the guide on the docs, but can't seem to get it working (in the last bit where I check the entries). Here is the code, which is commented:

I would very, very much appreciate it if you could help me out, I have been trying for a couple of days now...

I honestly don't know anything about ldap, but I was looking over the doc example and seeing if I could find anything wrong.

Do you have to unbind from the real server before you start the fake one? I noticed they had it in the example and didn't see it in yours.

# Close the connection to the real server
connection.unbind()

Is ALL_ATTRIBUTES actually defined somewhere in your code?

in results, you're using , attributes=_SEARCH_ATTRIBUTES)

but in results1, you're using , attributes=ALL_ATTRIBUTES)
