Описание: More videos like this online at http://www.theurbanpenguin.com
In this video we install openLDAP on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS server. First we ensure we have the plumbing correct for the install by setting the Fully Qualified Domain Name in the file, /etc/hosts. This is needed as the reconfigure routine will create a local database based on the domain name at the end of the install. With that in place we can then proceed with the install and sudo apt-get install -y slapd ldap-utils. At the end of the install you are prompted for the openLDAP administrator password, this ideally should be different to the root password. My server run the UFW firewall so I will open the ldap ports 389. We then see how we can view the database with ldapsearch and add entries with ldapadd.
