This project populates the LDAP server (AD) with mock user data. The Spring Boot project provides sample codes on how to craft LDAP queries with LdapTemplate.

1. Start OpenLdap Server

   docker-compose -f ./openldap/docker-compose.yml up -d

   This will create the ldap server (localhost:389) as well as a web interface (localhost:3800) for interacting with the ldap server. The login credential is user = cn=admin,dc=example,dc=org, pass = admin.

2. Start the Spring Boot application

   ./gradlew bootrun

   Trigger the ldap search using the endpoint (localhost:8080/api/query/) where = U0 / U1 / U2
