OpenDJ is a popular open-source directory server that provides a scalable and high-performance LDAP server. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install OpenDJ on MXLinux Latest.
Before we start, you need to have the following:
First, we need to download OpenDJ from the Forgerock website:
wget https://repo.forgerock.org/opendj-server/4.4.11/opendj_4.4.11-1_all.deb
Once the download is complete, we can install OpenDJ by running the following command:
sudo dpkg -i opendj_4.4.11-1_all.deb
After installation, OpenDJ is configured to use the default settings. However, you may want to customize the configuration by editing the config.ldif file located at /opt/opendj/config/config.ldif.
To start the OpenDJ service, run the following command:
sudo systemctl start opendj
You can check the status of the service by running:
sudo systemctl status opendj
By default, OpenDJ listens on port 389 for LDAP and port 636 for LDAPS (LDAP over SSL). You can access the OpenDJ server using an LDAP client, such as ldapsearch. For example:
ldapsearch -h localhost -p 1389 -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w password -b "dc=example,dc=com" "(objectclass=*)"
That's it! You have learned how to install and configure OpenDJ on MXLinux Latest. You can now use OpenDJ to provide directory services for your applications.
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!
