I've never gotten the tests to run. But, I haven't tried very hard... 
I seem to recall that the tests require that you be running an ldap 
server on the same host where you're running ldappc, and I never did 
that....

Here are my notes. I first ran ldappc using a quickstart version of 
grouper as the "input" (along with a local ldap directory). More 
recently, I've been running ldappc with a v1.2 version of Grouper 
(non quickstart) that uses oracle as my input, along with an ldap 
server.

Here are the steps I followed:

1) copy these files from your Grouper install to ldappc/ldappc_1_0/conf

        ehcache.xml
        grouper.hibernate.properties
        grouper.properties
        sources.xml

2) edit the ldappc/ldappc_1_0/lib directory
        add hsqldb-1.7.2.11.jar (copy it from your grouper deploy)
        remove hsqldb.jar

	-- this may only be necessary if you're storing your group 
definitions in hsql, rather than oracle (which I was doing 
originally....)

3) edit sources.xml

At the bottom of the file:

     ///Attributes you would like to display when doing a search
     <attribute>uid</attribute>
     <attribute>cn</attribute>
     <attribute>department</attribute>
       <attribute>brownBRUID</attribute>

add an attribute element referring to the key value that links your 
grouper DB to ldap person objects (in our case, this is brownBRUID )

4) if you're using Grouper v1.2, then copy grouper.jar to the 
ldappc/lib directory

5) if you're using oracle, copy the appropriate oracle jar to the lib 
directory (we're using oracle 10g, and I'm using ojdbc14.jar )

6) create ldappc.xml -- NOTE that the references to sources -- the 
attribute values on the source-subject-identifier element -- are 
case-sensitive....

7) I use this shell script to run ldappc; Michael Gettes created the 
script. edit as appropriate... both HOME and CMD....

let me know if these set of notes is complete... than perhaps we can 
get them on the wiki....
