OpenLDAP is an open-source implementation of the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). It provides a centralized database for storing and managing directory information, such as user accounts, group memberships, and network resources.
To install OpenLDAP on CentOS 8, follow these steps:
$ sudo dnf install openldap openldap-servers openldap-clients
After the installation, start and enable the OpenLDAP service:
$ sudo systemctl start slapd
$ sudo systemctl enable slapd
OpenLDAP configuration files are located in the /etc/openldap/
directory. The main configuration file is slapd.conf
. Edit this file to customize your LDAP server settings:
$ sudo vi /etc/openldap/slapd.conf
Create the LDAP directory structure by importing the default schema files:
$ sudo slaptest -f /etc/openldap/slapd.conf -F /etc/openldap/slapd.d/
$ sudo chown -R ldap:ldap /etc/openldap/slapd.d/
Finally, start the LDAP client service:
$ sudo systemctl start slurpd
$ sudo systemctl enable slurpd
To check if OpenLDAP is running, you can run the following command:
$ sudo systemctl status slapd
You have successfully installed and configured OpenLDAP on CentOS 8. You can now use it to manage directory information for your applications, users, and resources.
