Starting with OpenLDAP
1. Install OpenLDAP on Ubuntu
2. apt-get install slapd ldap-utils gq db4.8-util db4.8-doc jxplorer
3. Create slapd.conf /usr/share/slapd/slapd.conf or whereever you want only thing it should be readable. Change domain components and admin password, dn as per your requirement
4. Please check apparmor is off
5. Please check /var/run/slapd directory is there or not. If yes please check the permissions. It should be Read n write to openldap user
6. Also check for /var/lib/ldap
7. Create first.ldif… Change dn and cn values as per slapd.conf
In that put
dn: dc=gurjar,dc=com
objectclass: dcObject
objectclass: organization
o: Gurjar’s company
dc: gurjar
dn: cn=admin,dc=gurjar,dc=com
objectclass: simpleSecurityObject
objectclass: organizationalRole
cn: admin
userPassword: bigsecretword
description: LDAP administrator
8. Add this and initialize Directory
For this first copy /usr/share/slapd/DB_CONFIG /var/lib/ldap/
give
slapadd -f /usr/share/slapd/slapd.conf -l first.ldif
chown -R openldap:openldap /var/lib/ldap
9. Test your configuration file
slaptest -f /usr/share/slapd/slapd.conf
If it shows succeed in last line then Go ahead otherwise troubleshoot the issue 🙂
10. Start Slapd server by below command
slapd -u openldap -g openldap -f /usr/share/slapd/slapd.conf
11. Check weather slapd is up or not
ps -ef|grep slapd
netstat -an|grep 389
If it is running try connecting it with Jxplorer and brows. If you can connect then we are going ahead 🙂
