[Freeipa-devel] Testing Migration

[Drew Erny]

Hi, freeipa-devel,

More newbie questions. I have what I believe to be a fix for Ticket 
#2547 (https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2547) written, but I need 
to test this fix. I need to migrate an LDAP database that is in the 
previously expected for (all users and groups under 1 level) and migrate 
an LDAP database that is in a nested form where there might be many 
sub-ou's to search for users and groups. I need to make sure the outcome 
of both migrations is the same.

What would be the best way to go about this, more specifically than "set 
up two LDAP server and migrate them". Like, what tools are available to 
help me get this set up? Also, how can I preserve my work so that next 
time we have to modify migration code, it can be easily tested? Should I 
spin up VMs and save the images?

Also, I can just send a patch if someone feels so utterly confident in 
the codebase that they can tell if the thing I've done is right or wrong 
just by looking at it.

Thanks,

Drew Erny
