I need to test an application which uses LDAP for authentication, but still I don't have access to the server I have to use, but I need to test my application.
Does somebody know if is there any LDAP server with data that i can use for access??

Unfortunately, while there are free LDAP server software solutions available, the physical server hardware required to stand up an LDAP instance is generally not free. On average, an LDAP server can cost an IT organization anywhere from $4K to $20K, depending on the model and capabilities.
Currently by default LDAP traffic (without SSL/TLS) is unsigned and unencrypted making it vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks and eavesdropping. After the patch or the windows update would be applied, LDAPS must be enabled with Active Directory.
An approach of least access should be put in place and only grant access to endpoints that require access. It is for this reason that LDAP should not be opened up to the internet and is considered an EC2 security best practice.
LDAP stores and arranges data in a hierarchical structure called DIT (Directory Information Tree) to make it easy for admins to explore their directories and user access policies. This lightweight protocol is an alternative protocol that allows the admin to access x.
Here you go: Online LDAP Test Server
It's free, contains data, browsable. Make sure you use LDAP v3 when trying to bind.
Example of using from command line:
ldapsearch -W -h ldap.forumsys.com -D "uid=tesla,dc=example,dc=com" -b "dc=example,dc=com" Password: password
Returns:
# extended LDIF # # LDAPv3 # base <dc=example,dc=com> with scope subtree # filter: (objectclass=*) # requesting: ALL # ... # search result search: 2 result: 0 Success # numResponses: 16 # numEntries: 15 If you use the UnboundID LDAP SDK, you can stand up an in-memory LDAP server to use for testing. The API to deploy an in-memory server is included in the API. The standard edition is free, and the source code is included. I've included an example in this blog entry.
