I need to test connectivity to LDAP from my application. I need something that I can easy install (preferred to be xcopy).
Years ago I was using Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) for this purposes. But it does not supported on Windows 8. Gives me funny error message:
You do not have permission to update Windows. Please contact your system administrator.
Now, it looks like Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS). But again:
Installer encountered an error: 0x80096002
The certificate for the signer of the message is invalid or not found.
So two questions:

LDAP is the core protocol used in Microsoft's Active Directory. But you can also find its applications in other directory services such as Red Hat Directory Servers, Open LDAP, and IBM Security Directory Server.
Select Default Domain Policy > Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies, and then select Security Options. In the Network security: LDAP client signing requirements Properties dialog box, select Require signing in the list, and then select OK.
Install Ubuntu Server Edition 8.10, boot it up and install OpenLDAP. You can probably just accept the defaults if this is just for testing, therefore your domain will be dc=example,dc=com. In the install wizard it should ask you to setup your ldap admin user, this user's DN should be *cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com`.
I ended with OpenLDAP for Windows, just because it does not require any dependencies.
I also added it to Chocolatey
