Openldap configuration in Linux (for configuration and deployment in windows, refer)

1. Get the software 
   You can obtain a copy of the software by following the instructions on the OpenLDAP Software Download Page (http://www.openldap.org/software/download/). It is recommended that new users start with the latestRelease.
    
2. Unpack the distribution 
   Pick a directory for the source to live under, change directory to there, and unpack the distribution using the following commands:
   Gunzip-C openldap-VERSION.tgz | tar Xvfb-

   Then relocate yourself into the distribution directory:

   CD openldap-version

   You'll have to replaceVersionWith the version name of the release.
    

3. Review documentation 
   You shoshould now reviewCopyright,License,ReadmeAndInstallProvided with the distribution.CopyrightAndLicenseProvide information on acceptable use, copying, and limitation of warranty of OpenLDAP software.
   
   You shoshould also review other chapters of this document. In particle, the building and installing OpenLDAP software chapter of this document provides detailed information on prerequisite software and installation procedures.
    
4. RunConfigure 
   You will need to run the providedConfigureScriptConfigureThe distribution for building on your system.ConfigureScript accepts register command line options that enable or disable optional software features. Usually the defaults are okay, but you may want to change them. To get a complete list of options thatConfigureACCEPTS, use-- HelpOption:
   ./Configure -- Help

   However, given that you are using this guide, we'll assume you are brave enough to just letConfigureDetermine what's best:

   ./Configure

   AssumingConfigureDoesn't dislike your system, you can proceed with building the software. IfConfigureDid complain, well, you'll likely need to go to the software FAQInstallationSection (http://www.openldap.org/faq? File = 8) and/or actually read the building and installing OpenLDAP software chapter of this document.
    

5. Build the software.
   The next step is to build the software. This step has two parts, first we construct dependencies and then we compile the software:
   Make depend 
   Make

   Both makes shoshould complete without error.
    

6. Test the build.
   To ensure a correct build, you shoshould run the test suite (it only takes a few minutes ):
   Make Test

   Tests which apply to your configuration will run and they shocould pass. Some tests, such as the replication test, may be skipped.
    

7. Install the software.
   You are now ready to install the software; this usually requiresSuper-userPrivileges:
   Su root-C 'make install'

   Everything shoshould now be installed under/Usr/local(Or whatever installation prefix was usedConfigure).
    

8. Edit the configuration file.
   Use your favorite editor to edit the providedSlapd. conf(5) Example (usually installed/Usr/local/etc/OpenLDAP/slapd. conf) To contain a bdb database definition of the form:
   Database bdb 
   Suffix "DC = <my-domain>, Dc = <COM>" 
   Rootdn "cn = manager, Dc = <my-domain>, Dc = <COM>" 
   Rootpw secret 
   Directory/usr/local/var/openldap-Data

   Be sure to replace<My-domain>And<COM>With the appropriate domain components of your domain name. For example,Example.com, Use:

   Database bdb 
   Suffix "DC = example, Dc = com" 
   Rootdn "cn = manager, Dc = example, Dc = com" 
   Rootpw secret 
   Directory/usr/local/var/openldap-Data

   If your domain contains additional components, suchEng.uni.edu. EU, Use:

   Database bdb 
   Suffix "DC = ENG, Dc = uni, Dc = Edu, Dc = Eu" 
   Rootdn "cn = manager, Dc = ENG, Dc = uni, Dc = Edu, Dc = Eu" 
   Rootpw secret 
   Directory/usr/local/var/openldap-Data

   Details regarding indexing ing slapd (8) can be found in the slapd. conf (5) manual page and the slapd configuration file chapter of this document. note that the specified directory must exist prior to starting slapd (8 ).

Start slapd.
You are now ready to start the standalone LDAP daemon,Slapd(8), by running the command:

Su root-C/usr/local/libexec/slapd

To check to see if the server is running and configured correctly, you can run a search against itLdapsearch(1). By default,LdapsearchIs installed/Usr/local/bin/ldapsearch:

Ldapsearch-X-B '-S base' (objectclass = *) 'namingcontexts

Note the use of single quotes around command parameters to prevent special characters from being interpreted by the shell. This shocould return:

DN: 
Namingcontexts: DC = example, Dc = com

Details regarding runningSlapd(8) can be found inSlapd(8) manual page and the running slapd chapter of this document.
 

Add Initial entries to your directory.
You can useLdapadd(1) To add entries to your LDAP directory.LdapaddExpects input in ldif form. We'll do it in two steps:

1. Create an ldif File
2. Run ldapadd

Use your favorite editor and create an ldif file that contains:

DN: DC = <my-domain>, Dc = <COM> 
Objectclass: dcobject 
Objectclass: Organization 
O: <my organization> 
DC: <my-domain> 

DN: Cn = manager, Dc = <my-domain>, Dc = <COM> 
Objectclass: organizationalrole 
CN: Manager

Be sure to replace<My-domain>And<COM>With the appropriate domain components of your domain name.<My organization>Shocould be replaced with the name of your organization. When you cut and paste, be sure to trim any leading and trailing whitespace from the example.

DN: DC = example, Dc = com
Objectclass: dcobject
Objectclass: Organization
O: Example Company
DC: Example

DN: Cn = manager, Dc = example, Dc = com
Objectclass: organizationalrole
CN: Manager

/* The key point of the file is that there cannot be spaces in the header and tail of each line */
Now, you may runLdapadd(1) to insert these entries into your directory.

Ldapadd-X-d "cn = manager, Dc = <my-domain>, Dc = <COM>"-w-F example. ldif

Be sure to replace<My-domain>And<COM>With the appropriate domain components of your domain name. You will be prompted for"Secret"Specified inSlapd. conf. For example,Example.com, Use:

Ldapadd-X-d "cn = manager, Dc = example, Dc = com"-w-F example. ldif

WhereExample. ldifIs the file you created above.

Additional information regarding Directory creation can be found in the database creation and maintenance tools chapter of this document.
 

See if it works.
Now we're re ready to verify the added entries are in your directory. You can use any LDAP client to do this, but our example usesLdapsearch(1) tool. Remember to replaceDc = example, Dc = comWith the correct values for your site:

 

Ldapsearch-X-B 'Dc = example, Dc = com ''(objectclass = *)'

# Searching and timing objects

Time ldapsearch-X-B "uid = user150000, ou = people, Dc = sky, Dc = com"

This command will search for and retrieve every entry in the database.
