Apache Directory Server is an open-source, cross-platform and highly extensible LDAP server that can be used to manage and secure network resources. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Apache Directory Server on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS.
Before installing any software, it is recommended to update the system to the latest package version. To do so, run the following commands:
sudo dnf update
To run Apache Directory Server, you need to have Java installed on your system. To install OpenJDK 11 on Fedora, run the following command:
sudo dnf install java-11-openjdk
Next, download Apache Directory Server from the official website using the following command:
wget https://downloads.apache.org/directory/apacheds/dist/2.0.0.AM27/apacheds-2.0.0.AM27.tar.gz
Once the download is complete, extract the package using the following command:
tar xvfz apacheds-2.0.0.AM27.tar.gz
Move the extracted directory to the /opt directory using the following command:
sudo mv apacheds-2.0.0.AM27 /opt/
To start the Apache Directory Server, navigate to the installation directory and execute the following command:
/opt/apacheds-2.0.0.AM27/bin/apacheds.sh start
You can verify that Apache Directory Server is running by checking its status:
systemctl status apacheds-2.0.0.AM27.service
Once Apache Directory Server is running, you can access it using any LDAP client. You can also access the admin console by going to http://localhost:8080/apacheds/ and logging in using the default username and password "uid=admin,ou=system" and "secret".
In this tutorial, you learned how to install Apache Directory Server on Fedora CoreOS. You now have a fully functional LDAP server that can be used to manage and secure network resources.
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!
