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
Just follow http://en.opensuse.org/Howto_LDAP_server
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
Adding an OU
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 test
This example assumes you chose dc=example,dc=com as base DN.
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.
