INSTALLATION OF BERKELY DB IS COMPLETED, NOW INSTALL OPENLDAP

Get the software
You can obtain a copy of the software by following the instructions on the OpenLDAP download page (http://www.openldap.org/software/download/). It is recommended that new users start with the latest release.

tar xvf openldap*.gz

cd /scratch/rjuluri/openldap-2.4.35/

CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.8/include" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.8/lib -R/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.8/lib -R/usr/local/ssl/lib" LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.8/lib" ./configure --prefix=/scratch/rjuluri/openldap-2.4.35

make depend

                   make

                   make test

                   sudo su (root)

                   make install

Added these lines to /scratch/rjuluri/openldap-2.4.35/etc/openldap/slapd.conf

include         /scratch/rjuluri/openldap-2.4.35/etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema

include         /scratch/rjuluri/openldap-2.4.35/etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema

include         /scratch/rjuluri/openldap-2.4.35/etc/openldap/schema/nis.schema

Edit the configuration file.
Use your favorite editor to edit the provided slapd.conf(5) example (usually installed as /usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.conf) to contain a BDB database definition of the form:

database bdb
suffix "dc=,dc="
rootdn "cn=Manager,dc=,dc="
rootpw secret
directory /usr/local/var/openldap-data

Be sure to replace  and  with the appropriate domain components of your domain name. For example, for example.com, use:

database bdb
suffix "dc=example,dc=com"
rootdn "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com"
rootpw secret
directory /usr/local/var/openldap-data

START OPENLDAP:

You are now ready to start the stand-alone LDAP server, slapd(8), by running the command:

su root -c /scratch/rjuluri/openldap-2.4.35/libexec/slapd

To check to see if the server is running and configured correctly, you can run a search against it with ldapsearch(1). By default, ldapsearch is installed as /scratch/rjuluri/openldap-2.4.35/ bin/ldapsearch:

ldapsearch -x -b '' -s base '(objectclass=*)' namingContexts

Note the use of single quotes around command parameters to prevent special characters from being interpreted by the shell. This should return:

dn:
namingContexts: dc=example,dc=com

vi example.ldif

## DEFINE DIT ROOT/BASE/SUFFIX ####

## uses RFC 2377 format

## replace example and com as necessary below

## or for experimentation leave as is

## dcObject is an AUXILLIARY objectclass and MUST

## have a STRUCTURAL objectclass (organization in this case)

# this is an ENTRY sequence and is preceded by a BLANK line

dn: dc=example,dc=com

dc: example

description: My wonderful company as much text as you want to place

in this line up to 32K continuation data for the line above must

have <CR> or <CR><LF> i.e. ENTER works

on both Windows and *nix system - new line MUST begin with ONE SPACE

objectClass: dcObject

objectClass: organization

o: Example, Inc.

## FIRST Level hierarchy - people

## uses mixed upper and lower case for objectclass

# this is an ENTRY sequence and is preceded by a BLANK line

dn: ou=people, dc=example,dc=com

ou: people

description: All people in organisation

objectclass: organizationalunit

## SECOND Level hierarchy

## ADD a single entry under FIRST (people) level

# this is an ENTRY sequence and is preceded by a BLANK line

# the ou: Human Resources is the department name

dn: cn=Robert Smith,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com
