Chapter 10. LDAP Server Configuration

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=aten,dc=com, the fully qualified name of all entries in the database

will end with dc=aten,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 in the figure, below:
