We do have test suites defined by opengroup which most of the

They might be a good start, but i suspect they would be kind of old
hat. That is, not tell us much new.
For instance, I would be particularly interested in testing
internationalization interoperability.
That is, testing such things as SASLprep (in clients) and LDAPprep (in
servers).
There are various other changes made in LDAPbis that might impact
interoperability and should be tested.
And then there are various extensions...
or should we define new test suites as part of this exercise?
I think a good strategy is for each participant to come armed with
their own test suite of things like to test across all (applicable)
players. I assume everyone runs their own suite against their own
software. What we want to do is run each of these suites against the
others' software.

Anyone interest in proposing some LDAP interop testing?

Subject: Call for interop proposals
List-Id: general discussion of application-layer protocols
<discuss.apps.ietf.org>
At the Apps area open meeting in Vancouver, Chris & I mentioned
the possibility of doing a day of interoperability events at the
next IETF meeting. This would replace a day of Apps area meetings
during the normal meeting hours and in the normal meeting
location. Ideally it would allow people to come to the IETF for
more than just "their" meeting (although we have always hoped they
can attend other WG meetings as well) and participants may get
more benefit and better justification for attending.
If we're going to do this, we need proposals: what topic ( IDs,
RFCs, suites or functionality) will be tested. I don't think
interops will need a lot of management but volunteer coordinators
would be ideal. Proposals will need to be followed quickly by
some indications of who will participate. WG scheduling is
already open and we need to tell the Secretariat immediately if
they need to reserve a day for interops.
Proposals should probably be posted on some relevant subject
mailing list to quickly generate discussion among potential
participants -- not everybody reads Apps Discuss.
Thanks,
Lisa
