For SUSE
install the config module
Install the configuration module for yast2 to set up an ldap server:
yast -i yast2-ldap-server
Start the configuration:
yast2 ldap-server
When asked for installing openldap, answer "Install".
install ldap server
Choose "Start ldap server" -> yes, tag "open port in firewall" and choose "Configure...". Choose "Add database". As Base DN, use dc=example,dc=com. Finish yast2.
test ldap server
Restart ldap server
Restarting ldap server must be possible:
/etc/init.d/ldap stop /etc/init.d/ldap start
Now the command
/etc/init.d/ldap status
Should show running. The port must be reachable via network:
nmap localhost
Should show one line
389/tcp open ldap

To add an organizational unit, do
cat >orgunit<<EOF dn: ou=orgunit1,dc=example,dc=com objectClass: top objectClass: organizationalUnit ou: orgunit1 description: Test orgUnit EOF slapadd -v -l orgunit
Adding a person
cat >person<<EOF dn: cn=John Johnson,ou=orgunit1,dc=example,dc=com objectclass: top objectclass: person objectclass: organizationalPerson sn: John cn: John Johnson EOF slapadd -v -l person
Using an application
You can now test your ldap server using e.g. kaddressbook.
