This directory contains a series of test scripts which are used to
verify basic functionality of the LDAP libraries, slapd, and slurpd.
-To run the tests, type "make" in the ./tests directory.
+
+ To run all of the tests, type "make test".
+ To run BDB tests, type "make bdb".
+ To run HDB tests, type "make hdb".
+ To run LDBM tests, type "make ldbm".
+ To run SQL tests, define SLAPD_USE_SQL=<rdbms> and type
+ "make sql"; define SLAPD_USE_SQLWRITE=yes
+ to enable write tests as well.
+
+The test scripts depends on a number of tools commonly available on
+Unix (and Unix-like) systems. While attempts have been made to make
+these scripts reasonable portable, they may not run properly on your
+system. You may have to adjust your path so that compatible versions
+of tools used are available to the scripts and/or you may have to
+install replacement tools. Platform specific hints may be found at:
+ http://www.openldap.org/faq/index.cgi?file=9
+
+To modify the debug level the tests run slapd with, set the SLAPD_DEBUG
+environment variable.
+ env SLAPD_DEBUG=1 make test
