Automated directory services test setup utility

摘要

A computer-implemented method, apparatus, and system for creating directory services is described for testing a software application that accesses directory services and comprises receiving a configuration file specifying identification parameters and configuration parameters for configuring directory services, automatically generating a plurality of directory service processing instructions based upon the plurality of identification and configuration parameters in the configuration file, executing the plurality of directory service processing instructions to perform operations to set up directory services without requiring a user to manually provide parameters to set up the directory services, and executing a software application access a storage system using the directory services, including evaluating operations performed by the software application. The operations performed include detecting an operating system environment, invoking a plurality of directory service components, installing and setting up a directory service instance, configuring the directory service instance, and validating that the directory service instance.

1. A computer-implemented method for creating directory services for testing a software application that accesses directory services, the method comprising:
receiving a configuration file specifying at least one of a plurality of identification parameters and a plurality of configuration parameters for configuring directory services, wherein the plurality of identification parameters comprises a username, a password, a database name, a database location, and at least one of a database transaction file, a database topology, a shared files location, a domain, a subnet, a database type, and database roles, wherein the plurality of configuration parameters comprises at least one of a user path option, virtualization parameters, migration parameters, replication parameters, and upgrade parameters, and wherein the user path option comprises at least one of an upgrade option, a replication option, a migration option, and a virtualization option; and automatically generating a plurality of directory service processing instructions based upon the plurality of identification and configuration parameters in the configuration file; and executing by a processor the plurality of directory service processing instructions to perform operations to set up directory services without requiring a user to manually provide parameters to set up the directory services, the operations including:
detecting an operating system environment,invoking a plurality of directory service components adapted to the operating system environment,installing and setting up a directory service instance,configuring the directory service instance, andvalidating that the directory service instance is running; and executing a software application within the operating system environment to access a storage system using the directory services, including evaluating operations performed by the software application.
