Setting up Fedora 14 as an openLdap Server
Hello All
I am new to the Linux world coming from Microsoft AD. I am trying to set up a Fedora 14 Box as an openLdap Server that can authenticate my Windows and Linux clients. Could any one help me with a detailed step by step white paper to achieve the following. 1. Successfully install my openLdap Software 2. Configure my slapd.cong file 3. Setup up SSL/TLS 3. Configure ldap.conf 4. Create my users and groups and OU's 5. Authenticate to my openLdap. I have a rough idea on some of the steps but i have not got it to work at all. A detaailed whitepaper would be most appreciated as the help i am getting online is really complicated for a novice. Many Thanks Simukai |
Fedora 14 is not supported & has a short time release schedule Centos however has longer support time. You may want longer support for a server.

Hi EDDY!:)
Hi:seamkai The Fedora documentation should help- https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US...ll-server.html Fedora 19 was just recently released. http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora-options#desktops CentOS like EDDY1 said will have longer support. https://www.centos.org/ http://wiki.centos.org/Download Hope that helps; Good luck seamkai! |
Welcome to LQ!
1. Fedora 14 is dead and Fedora is not really convenient for a server anyway: too changeable and experimental. Get CentOS. 2. There's masses of on-line documentation to tell you how to do things: http://wiki.centos.org/ http://www.centos.org/docs/5/ http://www.openldap.org/ 3. Never put your email address in a post, unless you hobby is collecting spam! |
As above, forget Fedora and get latest Centos (6.4).
