This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing OpenLDAP on Kali Linux Latest.
First, update the package list and install necessary dependencies:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y gcc make libdb-dev libsasl2-dev libssl-dev
Download the latest stable release of OpenLDAP from http://www.OpenLDAP.org/:
wget ftp://ftp.openldap.org/pub/OpenLDAP/openldap-release/openldap-2.4.59.tgz
Extract the downloaded file:
tar -xvzf openldap-2.4.59.tgz
cd openldap-2.4.59
Now it's time to configure, build and install OpenLDAP:
./configure
make depend
make
sudo make install
After installing OpenLDAP, you need to configure it. You can start by copying the provided slapd.conf and schema files to the appropriate locations (modify as necessary):
sudo cp /usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.conf.example /usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.conf
sudo cp /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/* /usr/local/etc/openldap/
Next, you can create a directory for OpenLDAP to store data:
sudo mkdir /usr/local/var/openldap-data
sudo chown -R ldap:ldap /usr/local/var/openldap-data
Add necessary environment variables:
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin' | sudo tee -a /etc/profile.d/ldap.sh > /dev/null
. /etc/profile.d/ldap.sh
Before starting OpenLDAP, you can test your configuration:
sudo /usr/local/libexec/slapd -f /usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.conf -d 2
If everything went well, you can stop the test and start OpenLDAP as a daemon:
sudo systemctl start slapd
To check the status:
sudo systemctl status slapd
That's it! You have successfully installed and configured OpenLDAP on Kali Linux Latest. You can now manage and authenticate users and groups using LDAP.
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!
