LDAP Account Manager (LAM) is an open-source web-based LDAP account management tool. It is used to manage user and group accounts on LDAP directories. In this tutorial, we will walk through the installation of LAM on Clear Linux.
Before installing LDAP Account Manager, make sure you have all the required dependencies installed on your system.
To install Apache, PHP, and other dependencies, run the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add php-basic devpkg-libldap devpkg-apr-util
To get started, grab the latest version of LAM from the official website:
wget https://nchc.dl.sourceforge.net/project/lamsuite/LAM/LAM%205.0.10/lam-5.0.10.tar.bz2
This will download the LAM archive to your current directory.
Extract the downloaded archive using the following command:
tar -xjf lam-5.0.10.tar.bz2
This will extract the LAM files to a directory named lam-5.0.10.
Change into the lam-5.0.10 directory:
cd lam-5.0.10
Run the following command to install LAM:
sudo php install.php
Follow the on-screen instructions to configure LAM.
To start the LAM service, run the following command:
sudo service lam start
You can check the status of the service by running:
sudo service lam status
Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/lam/. This should bring up the LAM login page. Login using your LDAP administrator credentials.
