OpenLDAP Server
OpenLDAPisanopensourceLDAPserverdesignedforUNIX
platforms. A Windows version can be downloaded from: http://
download.bergmans.us/openldap/openldap-2.2.29/openldap-2.2.29-db-
4.3.29-openssl-.9.8awin32_Setup.exe.
OpenLDAP Server Installation
After downloading the program, launch the installer, select your
language, accept the license and choose the target installation directory.
The default directory is:
c:\Program Files\OpenLDAP.
When the Select Components dialog box appears, select install BDB-
tools and install OpenLDAP-slapd as NT service options.
OpenLDAP Server Configuration
ThemainOpenLDAPconfigurationfile,slapd.conf,hastobe
customized before launching the server. The modifications to the
configuration file will do the following:
• Specifytheunicodedatadirectory.Thedefaultis./ucdata.
• ChoosetherequiredLDAPschemas.Thecoreschemaismandatory.
• ConfigurethepathfortheOpenLDAPpid and args start up files.
The first contains the server pid, the second includes command line
arguments.
• Choosethedatabasetype.Thedefaultisbdb (Berkeley DB).
• Specifytheserversuffix.Allentriesinthedirectorywillhavethis
suffix, which represents the root of the directory tree. For example,
with suffix dc=tripplite,dc=com, the fully qualified name of all
entries in the database will end with dc=tripplite,dc=com.
• Definethenameoftheadministratorentryfortheserver(rootdn),
along with its password (rootpw). This is the server’s super user. The
rootdn name must match the suffix defined above. (Since all entry
names must end with the defined suffix, and the rootdn is an entry.)
An example configuration file is provided:
Starting the Open LDAP Server
TostarttheOpenLDAPServer,runslapd(theOpenLDAPServer
executable file) from the command line. slapd supports a number of
command line options, the most important option is the d switch that
triggers debug information. For example, a command of slapd -d 256
wouldstartOpenLDAPwithadebuglevelof256,asshowninthe
following screenshot:
Note: For details about slapd options and their meanings, refer to the
OpenLDAP documentation.
Customizing the OpenLDAP Schema
The schema that slapd uses may be extended to support additional
syntaxes, matching rules, attribute types and object classes. In the case
oftheKVM,theUser class and the permission attribute are extended
to define a new schema. The extended schema file used to authenticate
andauthorizeusersloggingintotheKVMswitchisshowninthe
figure below.
