[keycloak-dev] Packaging of ApacheDS for examples?

[Marek Posolda]

I am thinking about adding LDAP example, which can be used as a base for 
LDAP mappers based blog and screencast.

It will contain the application to show some claims (also both 
singlevalued and multivalued attributes). It will also contain JSON 
realm with UserFederation configuration pointing to our ApacheDS and 
LDIF with some simple users for testing. I already added end-to-end test 
to the testsuite (LDAPMultipleAttributesTest.ldapPortalEndToEndTest )


The only possible problem is how to easily bootstrap ApacheDS based LDAP 
servers in user's environment. I am thinking about 3 approaches:

a) Point to the embedded ApacheDS server from our testsuite. This will 
be easy to do and it's what Kerberos example is already doing . Problem 
is that it requires people to checkout the keycloak sources through 
github and build them through maven, so not very user friendly

b) Create docker image for ApacheDS servers (one for ldap example and 
another for kerberos). Not sure if it's fine to require users to install 
docker (even more pain might be on windows, when they need boot2docker 
or something...)

c) Packaging with ApacheDS based servers directly into our example 
package, so people can just run something like:

java -jar keycloak-examples/ldap/apacheds-embedded.jar 
-Dldif.location=keycloak-examples/ldap/example.ldif

and similarly for kerberos.

For me it's easiest to go with (a) but not sure about usability... 
Regarding usability (c) looks best but it's much more work.

WDYT?
Marek
