Apache Directory Server is an open-source LDAP server that provides a flexible and scalable solution for directory-based identity-related queries. In this tutorial, we will demonstrate a step-by-step guide on how to install the Apache Directory Server on your Manjaro Linux system.
Before we proceed, the following are the requirements you must have:
Follow the below steps in installing an Apache Directory Server on your Manjaro Linux system:
The initial step is to update your Manjaro Linux system using the package manager, which is the Pacman command. Run the following command to update:
$ sudo pacman -Syu
After the system update, you need to install Java, which is essential for running the Apache directory server. Run the following command to install Java 8:
$ sudo pacman -S jre8-openjdk-headless
Navigate to the official Apache Directory Server download page using your web browser.
Download the latest version by clicking on the "Download" link.
Once the download is complete, navigate to the directory containing the tarball file and extract it using the following command:
$ tar -xvf apache-ds-x.x.x.tar.gz
Replace x.x.x with the actual version number you downloaded.
After extraction, navigate to the apache-ds-x.x.x directory using cd.
$ cd apache-ds-x.x.x
Run the Apache Directory Server setup file using the following command:
$ ./bin/apacheds.sh start
You can now access the Apache Directory Server at ldap://localhost:10389.
When you’re finished, stop the Apache Directory Server using the following command:
$ ./bin/apacheds.sh stop
We've successfully installed Apache Directory Server on your Manjaro Linux system. You can now utilize its powerful features to manage identity-related queries on the directory-based application.
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!
