OpenLDAP is a widely used open-source implementation of the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). Clear Linux is a Linux Distribution known for its performance and security enhancements. Installing OpenLDAP on Clear Linux is a simple process which can be done in the following steps:
Before installing OpenLDAP, ensure that Clear Linux is up-to-date using the following command:
sudo swupd update
OpenLDAP is available in Clear Linux bundles. Install the bundle by running the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add openldap
Once OpenLDAP is installed, it can be configured in various ways to suit your requirements. The configuration file for OpenLDAP is /usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.conf.
To configure OpenLDAP, you must first create a new config file. You can create a simple default one using the following command:
sudo cp /usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.conf.default /usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.conf
Note that the default configuration file may need to be edited to meet your requirements.
After the configuration file has been created, start OpenLDAP using the following command:
sudo systemctl start slapd
To enable OpenLDAP to start automatically at boot time, run the following command:
sudo systemctl enable slapd
You can verify that OpenLDAP is running correctly by using the following command:
systemctl status slapd
If everything is set up correctly the output will show an active OpenLDAP service.
OpenLDAP on Clear Linux is now installed and running. From here you can further configure OpenLDAP to meet your requirements.
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!
