LDAP Account Manager (LAM) is a web-based user interface for managing LDAP directories. It provides an easy-to-use interface for creating, modifying, and deleting user accounts, groups, and other LDAP objects. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install LDAP Account Manager on Linux Mint Latest.
Before installing LDAP Account Manager, we need to install some required dependencies. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache2 php php-cli php-ldap php-curl php-mbstring php-mysql libapache2-mod-php
Next, we need to download LDAP Account Manager from its official website. Open your web browser and go to https://www.ldap-account-manager.org/lamcms/. Click on the Download button and select the latest version of LDAP Account Manager. Once downloaded, extract the downloaded package to your desired directory.
We need to configure Apache to serve LDAP Account Manager. Open the terminal and edit the default Apache configuration file using the following command:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf
Add the following lines at the end of the VirtualHost block:
Alias /lam "/path/to/lam/directory"
<Directory "/path/to/lam/directory">
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
Replace /path/to/lam/directory with the actual path where you extracted LDAP Account Manager in Step 2.
Save and close the file, then restart Apache for the changes to take effect:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/lam. LDAP Account Manager's web interface should now be accessible.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed LDAP Account Manager on Linux Mint Latest. You can now use LAM to manage your LDAP directory with ease.
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!
