OpenDS is a directory server that is based on LDAP and is designed for use in large-scale and high-performance environments. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install OpenDS on OpenSUSE Latest.
Before we begin, please make sure that you have a fresh installation of OpenSUSE Latest and have administrative access to the system.
First, we need to download the OpenDS software from their website. You can use the following command to download it:
wget https://opends.java.net/files/documents/7/3511/opends-2.4.6.zip
Once the download is complete, we can extract the archive using the following command:
unzip opends-2.4.6.zip
This command will extract the OpenDS files to a new directory called opends-2.4.6.
Now that we have extracted the OpenDS files, we can begin the installation process. To do this, first, navigate to the opends-2.4.6/setup directory and execute the following command:
./run-install
This will launch the installation wizard.
The wizard will guide you through the installation process. You will be presented with various options, including the installation directory, the default port number, and whether you want to install a sample backend.
Once you have entered all the required information, the installation process will begin.
Once the installation is complete, you can verify that OpenDS is running by executing the following command:
./bin/status
If OpenDS is running, you should see a message indicating that it is running.
In this tutorial, we learned how to install OpenDS on OpenSUSE Latest. We downloaded the OpenDS software, extracted the archive, launched the installation wizard, and verified that OpenDS was running.
