Apache Directory Server is an LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) server that is widely used for managing user authentication and access within an organization. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Apache Directory Server on Clear Linux Latest.
Before installing Apache Directory Server, make sure that Java is installed on Clear Linux Latest. You can check if Java is installed by running the following command:
java -version
If Java is not installed, you can install it using the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add java-runtime
Next, download the Apache Directory Server from their official website at http://directory.apache.org/#download. You can download the latest version of the server for your platform by navigating to the “Stable Release” section and selecting the “tar.gz” file.
Once the download is complete, extract the compressed file:
tar -zxvf apache-ds-x.x.x.tar.gz
Note: Replace “x.x.x” with the version number of the Apache Directory Server that you downloaded.
To setup permissions to the Apache Directory Server, enter into the extracted directory using the command:
cd apache-ds-x.x.x
In this directory, execute the following command to modify the permissions of the “ldif” and “log” directory:
sudo chmod -R 777 var
To start the Apache Directory Server, navigate to the “bin” directory in the folder where you extracted the server, and run the following command:
./apacheds.sh start
You can check if the server is running by executing the command:
./apacheds.sh status
To access the Apache Directory Server Console, open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:10389.
Enter “uid=admin,ou=system” as the username and the password that you set during the installation process.
You should now be able to manage the Apache Directory Server from the web-based console.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured the Apache Directory Server on Clear 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!
