Thread: HOWTO: Quick Simple LDAP Server

downloaded ubuntu 11.04 64-bit server
installing using hostname: slookytech
no proxy
setup lamp server.
set mysql root password.
reboot.
login.

run following:

code:

sudo apt-get install slapd ldap-utils migrationtools  sudo rm -r /etc/ldap/slapd.d  sudo dpkg-reconfigure slapd

set settings in slapd:
omit openldap server configuration - no
dns domain name: slookytech.local
name of org: slookytech
password - of course put in need
bdb
want db removed when slapd purged? - no
move old database? - yes
allow ldapv2 protocol? - no

code:

sudo /etc/init.d/slapd restart

make sure can search ldap server via:

code:

ldapsearch -x -b dc=slookytech,dc=local

next modify /etc/migratetools/migrate_common.ph - use pico can sub in vi or vim if needed:

code:

sudo pico /etc/migrationtools/migrate_common.ph

change put slookytech.local yours, , dc=slookytech,dc=local down below:

code:

$default_mail_domain = "slookytech.local";  $default_base = "dc=slookytech,dc=local";

now do:

code:

cd /usr/share/migrationtools/  sudo ./migrate_group.pl /etc/group ~/group.ldif  sudo ./migrate_passwd.pl /etc/passwd ~/passwd.ldif

now create file with:

code:

dn: ou=people, dc=slookytech, dc=local  ou: people  objectclass: organizationalunit    dn: ou=group, dc=slookytech, dc=local  ou: group  objectclass: organizationalunit

changing dc= reflects on ldap server. save as: people_group.ldif in home folder, run:

code:

sudo ldapadd -x -w -d "cn=admin,dc=slookytech,dc=local" -f ~/people_group.ldif  sudo ldapadd -x -w -d "cn=admin,dc=slookytech,dc=local" -f ~/group.ldif  sudo ldapadd -x -w -d "cn=admin,dc=slookytech,dc=local" -f ~/passwd.ldif

server config finished.

server easy part, client, however, not. check in while see if i've uploaded client part.
