OpenDS is an open-source directory server for managing identity and access information. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install OpenDS on FreeBSD latest.
Before you start, make sure your system has the following prerequisites:
Before we begin the installation process, update the package repository by running the following command:
sudo pkg update
OpenDS is available in the FreeBSD repository, and we can install it using the pkg package manager. Run the following command to install the OpenDS package:
sudo pkg install opends
This will install all necessary dependencies for OpenDS.
Once the package is installed, we need to configure OpenDS before we can start using it.
Run the configuration script using the following command:
sudo /usr/local/opends/bin/dsconfig
This command will open the configuration wizard, which will guide you through the setup process.
Enter the following information when prompted:
Once the configuration is complete, start the OpenDS server using the following command:
sudo /usr/local/opends/bin/start-ds
To verify that OpenDS is installed and running correctly, use the following command to check the server status:
sudo /usr/local/opends/bin/status
If the server is running correctly, you should see the following output:
Server Run Status: Started
Congratulations! You have successfully installed OpenDS on FreeBSD latest. You can now start using the server to manage your identity and access information.
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!
