LDAP Account Manager (LAM) is a web-based LDAP administration tool that allows managing directory entries. It makes it easy to create, delete and manage user accounts, and provides a user-friendly interface to manage LDAP servers. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install LAM on OpenSUSE Latest.
Before installing any new packages, it is recommended to update the current packages and repositories to the latest version, which can be done by running the following command:
sudo zypper update
By default, OpenSUSE does not come with LAM package available in the official repositories. So, we need to add the LAM repository before proceeding with the installation.
2.1. Configure LAM Repository:
sudo zypper ar -f https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/ldap/openSUSE_Leap_15.3/ ldap
2.2. Import GPG key:
sudo rpm --import https://build.opensuse.org/projects/server:ldap/public_key
2.3. Refresh package lists:
sudo zypper ref
2.4. Install LAM:
sudo zypper in ldap-account-manager
LAM is a web-based LDAP administration tool, so it requires the Apache web server to be running. We can start and enable the Apache web server using the following commands:
sudo systemctl enable apache2
sudo systemctl start apache2
After installing the LAM package and ensuring Apache is running, it’s time to access the LAM web interface. To access the LAM web interface, open your browser and go to the following URL:
http://<IP_Address/lam
Replace “IP_Address” with the IP address of your OpenSUSE server. You should see the LAM login web page.

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!
