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.

Step 1: Install Required Dependencies

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.

Step 3: Configure Apache

We need to configure Apache to serve LDAP Account Manager. Open the terminal and edit the default Apache configuration file using the following command:
