OpenDJ is an open-source LDAP server developed by ForgeRock. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install OpenDJ on FreeBSD latest.
Before we begin, please make sure your system is up-to-date by running the following command:
sudo pkg update && sudo pkg upgrade
To install OpenDJ, we need to install the following dependencies:
java/openjdk8devel/gmakesecurity/ca_root_nssWe can install these dependencies by running the following command:
sudo pkg install openjdk8 gmake ca_root_nss
To download OpenDJ, we need to go to the official website and download the latest version of OpenDJ for FreeBSD. You can use the following command to download the latest version:
wget http://opendj.forgerock.org/downloads/latest/opendj-latest.zip
Once the file is downloaded, we need to extract it to a suitable directory. In this tutorial, we will extract the file to the /opt directory. To do so, run the following command:
sudo unzip opendj-latest.zip -d /opt/
After the extraction is complete, navigate to the extracted directory using the following command:
cd /opt/opendj
Next, we need to run the setup command to install OpenDJ. To do so, execute the following command:
sudo ./setup
This will start the setup wizard. Follow the prompts and enter the required information such as installation directory and the administrator password.
After the installation is complete, start the OpenDJ server using the following command:
sudo ./bin/start-ds
To verify that OpenDJ is installed and running correctly, we can use the dsconfig command. To do so, execute the following command:
sudo ./bin/dsconfig -h localhost -p 4444 -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w <admin_password> --trustAll --no-prompt list-backends
If everything is working correctly, this command should return a list of backends that are installed.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed OpenDJ on FreeBSD latest. You can now use it as an LDAP server for authentication and authorization purposes.
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!
