Installation

Preparation

By default the installation of slapd will create a working configuration based on the hostname. If you want a suffix dc=objclt,dc=com then your host file "/etc/hosts" would have a line similar to this:

127.0.1.1   hostname.objclt.com  hostname

Install

Install Ldap server and utilities

apt-get install slapd ldap-utils

Validate your install

ldapsearch -Q -LLL -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -b cn=config dn

Setup Ldap

Change Root DN

Retreive current information

ldapsearch -LLL -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -b  cn=config dn olcRootDN

You need to modify the entry dn: "olcDatabase={1}hdb,cn=config"

Proceed to modify

ldapmodify -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:///

First, enter the entry we want to modify

dn: olcDatabase={1}mdb,cn=config

Second, type the parameter we want to modify

replace: olcRootDN

Third, type the new value you want

olcRootDN: cn=admin,dc=objclt,dc=com

Press enter twice to confirm
