This tutorial will guide you through installing 389 Directory Server on macOS using the Homebrew package manager.
Before getting started, make sure you have the following:
The first step is to install the dependencies required by 389 Directory Server. Open your terminal application and run the following command:
brew install openssl libevent cyrus-sasl
Once the dependencies are installed, we can proceed with installing 389 Directory Server. Run the following command in your terminal:
brew install 389-ds-base
Now that 389 Directory Server is installed, we need to configure it. Run the following command in your terminal to start the configuration process:
sudo /usr/sbin/setup-ds-admin.pl
This command will launch a configuration wizard that will guide you through the setup process. Follow the prompts and enter the necessary information for your environment.
Note: Make sure to specify "localhost" or "127.0.0.1" as the server name during the configuration process.
Once the configuration is complete, we can start the 389 Directory Server. Run the following command in your terminal:
sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.port389.dirsrv.plist
This command will start the 389 Directory Server as a system service.
Now that 389 Directory Server is installed and running, you can use it to manage directory information in your environment.
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!
