389 Directory Server is an open-source LDAP server that provides directory services in a network. In this tutorial, we will install 389 directory server on OpenBSD.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following:
The first step is to install the packages required to compile and run the 389 directory server. Open a terminal window and execute the following command:
pkg_add -v gcc make openssl
This command will install the required packages.
In this step, we will download and extract the 389 directory server package. Open a terminal window and execute the following command:
ftp https://pagure.io/389-ds-base/archive/master.tar.gz
Once the download is complete, extract the package using the following command:
tar -xvf 389-ds-base-master.tar.gz
In this step, we will compile and install the 389 directory server. Enter the directory you have extracted and run the following commands:
cd 389-ds-base-master
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-openldap --without-systemd --with-systemdsystemunitdir=/usr/local/lib/systemd/system
make
make install
In this step, we will configure the 389 directory server. To start the configuration process, run the following command:
dscreate interactive
This command will initiate a step-by-step configuration process. Follow the instructions and configure the server according to your requirements.
In this step, we will start the 389 directory server. To start the directory server, run the following command:
systemctl start dirsrv.target
Congratulations! You have successfully installed 389 directory server on OpenBSD. You can now use the server to provide directory services on your network.
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!
