11.1 ConfigurationTable of contents
LDAP is very flexible but this flexibility comes with the draw back of making LDAP complicated.
Configuring
You will be prompted for the admin password. You may also be prompted for your Base Name, or you may need to edit the configuration file in /etc/ldap and modify the "suffix" parameter. suffix "dc=ties2,dc=net"
Why does it refer to a dabase in the config file ? LDAP is not database software, it still relies on a database under the slapd program. Often Berkley DB, a specialized database is used.
You may also need to modify the "BASE" in /etc/ldap/ldap.conf BASE dc=ties2,dc=net
Note there is some documentation in /usr/share/doc, As with with Debian/Ubuntu installed software. LinksThe Ubuntu Guide to installing and configufing OpenLDAP |
