Step 2: Install TestLink

uncompress tar to /opt/lampp/htdocs/testlink via this command:

tar xvfz testlink-1.9.3.tar.gz -C /opt/lampp/htdocs/testlink 

Step3: Create database for testlink

runcommands:

 >/opt/lampp/bin/mysql -uroot -pnopass;

 mysql>create database "databasename";

mysql>use testlink;

 mysal>grant all privilegeon "databasename".*to "username"@"localhost"indentified by "nopass“ 

【创建用户并赋予适当的权利】

  

mysql> quit/exit

Step4: Install TestLink via browser. Just according to its guide to finish it.

   通过browser访问: http://testlinkserveraddress/testlink/install/index.php的指引配置testlink

 Can refer to it:

Step5: There are 2 ways for TestLink authentication.

MD5

LDAP

 

how to work with LDAP ?

Add  [User Authentication]  section to /opt/lampp/htdocs/testlink/config.inc.php 

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
/* [User Authentication] */


/**
 * Login authentication method:
 * 'MD5' => use password stored on db
 * 'LDAP' => use password from LDAP Server
 */
$tlCfg->authentication['method'] = 'LDAP'; [this is switch on authentication method]

/** LDAP authentication credentials */
$tlCfg->authentication['ldap_server'] = 'qapf1-ad02.qapf1.qalab01.nextlabs.com';
$tlCfg->authentication['ldap_port'] = '3268';
$tlCfg->authentication['ldap_version'] = '3'; // could be '2' in some cases
$tlCfg->authentication['ldap_root_dn'] = 'ou=Users,ou=Presidents,dc=qapf1,dc=qalab01,dc=nextlabs,dc=com';[this is the users layer in AD]
$tlCfg->authentication['ldap_organization'] = '';    // e.g. '(organizationname=*Traffic)'
$tlCfg->authentication['ldap_uid_field'] = 'sAMAccountName'; // Use 'sAMAccountName' for Active Directory
$tlCfg->authentication['ldap_bind_dn'] = 'administrator@domian'; // Left empty for anonymous LDAP >
$tlCfg->authentication['ldap_bind_passwd'] = 'password'; // Left empty for anonymous LDAP binding
$tlCfg->authentication['ldap_tls'] = false; // true -> use tls
/** Enable/disable Users to create accounts on login page */
$tlCfg->user_self_signup = TRUE;

After LDAP configration is ready, log in Testlink and add the account to testlink. 

On this accout, the name should be same with that in AD.

After all is finished, we can use AD user for logging in.
