LDAP Account Manager (LAM) is a web-based LDAP administration tool that allows you to manage multiple LDAP servers and users. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing LAM on Alpine Linux latest.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following:
LAM requires Apache web server, PHP, and LDAP libraries to be installed on your system. Use the following command to install these packages:
sudo apk add apache2 php7 php7-apache2 php7-ldap openldap-dev
Visit the LAM website and download the latest stable release to your Alpine Linux system.
Extract the downloaded zip archive:
unzip lam*.zip
Copy the lam folder to your Apache document root:
sudo mv lam /var/www/localhost/htdocs/
Create a new virtual host for LAM by copying the default virtual host configuration file:
sudo cp /etc/apache2/httpd.conf /etc/apache2/httpd-lam.conf
Edit the httpd-lam.conf file using your preferred editor, adding the following configuration directives:
Alias /lam /var/www/localhost/htdocs/lam
<Directory /var/www/localhost/htdocs/lam>
AllowOverride All
Options FollowSymLinks
Require all granted
</Directory>
Save the changes and exit the editor.
Enable the new virtual host and restart Apache:
sudo apachectl -t && sudo mv /etc/apache2/conf.d/lam.conf.disabled /etc/apache2/conf.d/lam.conf && sudo rc-service apache2 restart
Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/lam.
The LAM login page should appear. Enter the default administrator credentials:
Username: admin
Password: lam
You should now have access to the LAM dashboard and be able to configure LDAP servers and users as needed.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed LAM on Alpine Linux latest.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
