After extracting the file successfully, change the owner and permissions of the LAM directory.
sudo chown -R http:http /srv/http/lam-5.8
sudo chmod -R 755 /srv/http/lam-5.8
To configure Apache for LAM, you need to create an Apache configuration file for LDAP Account Manager.
Create a new Apache configuration file with the following command:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/extra/lam.conf
Add the following configuration directives:
Alias /lam /srv/http/lam-5.8/www
<Directory /srv/http/lam-5.8/www>
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
Save and close the file.
Restart the Apache webserver to apply the changes.
sudo systemctl restart httpd
Open your web browser and go to http://localhost/lam. You should see the LDAP Account Manager login page.
Use the default username and password to log in.

Once you have logged in successfully, you can configure LDAP server settings and manage user accounts using LDAP Account Manager.
