OpenDS is an open-source LDAP directory server that provides users with several features for managing directory data. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing OpenDS on OpenBSD.
First, we need to install the necessary packages that OpenDS depends on. Connect to your OpenBSD terminal and run the following command.
$ sudo pkg_add opends-jre-3.0.0*
This command will install the Java runtime environment and other dependencies required for OpenDS.
Next, you need to download the OpenDS package from the official website. You can download it using the following command.
$ sudo ftp https://download.forgerock.org/opends/openDJ/3.0.0/OpenDJ-3.0.0.zip
After downloading the package, extract the contents using the following command.
$ sudo unzip OpenDJ-3.0.0.zip
After extracting the OpenDS package, navigate to the extracted directory using the following command.
$ cd OpenDJ-3.0.0/
Now, we need to create a new instance of OpenDS using the following command.
$ sudo bin/create-rc-script
This command will create a new instance of OpenDS in the default location /var/ds/instances/opends.
Finally, we need to start the OpenDS instance using the following command.
$ sudo /etc/rc.d/opends start
This command will start the OpenDS instance, and you can verify its status using the following command.
$ sudo /etc/rc.d/opends status
If the OpenDS is running correctly, it will display the status as "OK".
In this tutorial, you learned how to install OpenDS on OpenBSD. OpenDS is a feature-rich LDAP directory server that provides several features for managing directory data. Additionally, it is free, open-source, and easy to install.
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!
