OpenDS is a free and open-source directory server for managing directory data. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install OpenDS on Manjaro.
Before installing OpenDS, make sure you have the following:
Follow the steps below to install OpenDS on your Manjaro Linux system:
OpenDS requires the Java Development Kit (JDK) to be installed on your system.
To install the latest version of the JDK, open the terminal and type the following command:
sudo pacman -S jdk-openjdk
To download the OpenDS package, navigate to the OpenDS download page at https://opends.java.net/ and download the latest version of the software.
Alternatively, you can download the package using the terminal by running the following command:
wget https://java.net/downloads/opends/latest/promoted/archive/opends-2.4.6.zip
Once the download is complete, extract the OpenDS package by running the following command in the terminal:
unzip opends-2.4.6.zip
This will extract all the necessary files to a new folder named opends-2.4.6.
Before starting OpenDS, you need to configure its server instance. To do this, navigate to the opends-2.4.6/bin folder and run the following command:
./dsconfig -h localhost -p 4444 create-server \
--set server-id:1 \
--set enabled:true \
--set hostname:localhost \
--set ldap-port:1389 \
--set ldaps-port:1636 \
--set jmx-port:1689 \
--set http-port:8080 \
--userDirectory /path/to/user/directory \
--monitorUserPassword password \
--set base-dn:dc=example,dc=com
Replace /path/to/user/directory with the path to the directory where you want OpenDS to store user data, and replace password with a secure password for the monitor user.
To start OpenDS, navigate to the opends-2.4.6/bin folder and run the following command:
./start-ds
This command will start the OpenDS server.
To verify that OpenDS is running, open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080/. You should see the OpenDS welcome screen.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed OpenDS on Manjaro Linux.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install OpenDS on Manjaro Linux. By following the above steps, you can now begin to use OpenDS to manage your directory data.
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!
