OpenDJ is a powerful, open-source LDAP directory service written in the Java programming language. It can be used for managing user identity data and other directory-related tasks. In this guide, we will walk you through the steps to install OpenDJ on Debian latest.
To complete this tutorial, you will need:
Before installing OpenDJ, you need to install the latest version of Java on your Debian machine. Open a terminal window and run the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install default-jdk
Go to the OpenDJ website and download the latest version of OpenDJ. Once the download is complete, extract the contents to a directory of your choice. In this tutorial, we will extract it to the home directory.
cd ~
wget https://archives.forgerock.org/opendj/opendj-4.2.0.zip
unzip opendj-4.2.0.zip
Change to the OpenDJ directory and run the configuration command. The command will prompt you to enter the administrator password and choose the type of server instance to create.
cd opendj-4.2.0
./setup --cli
Follow the prompts to configure the OpenDJ server. Once the configuration is complete, start the OpenDJ server with the following command:
./bin/start-ds
To test that OpenDJ is running, open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080. This will display the LDAP directory browser interface, which allows you to browse the directory and perform directory-related tasks.
