LDAP Setup
 

Hello,
I am setting up LDAP on my Ubuntu Server. I am following the directions posted here:

http://www.beginlinux.com/server_tra...-on-ubuntu-804

I have done the following:

I have run apt-get install slapd ldap-utils
I created my password as well during that setup

One of the steps says edit: /etc/ldap/slapd.conf yet this file doesn't exist in this location but I did find a folder called slapd.d when I go in there I see cn=config and cn=config.ldif

Does anyone know where I might find slapd.conf? I did do a search and found a slapd.conf located at usr/share/slapd/slapd.conf but this location isn't notes in the instructions.

Do I have to create the slapd.conf in the /etc/ldap folder?

From the instructions I referenced above here is a snippet of where I'm at:

Preparation to Start LDAP

Before starting LDAP you must set your database type for Database #1, the suffix for your domain, set your rootdn, rootdn password and the directory location for you files. Note that example.com is the domain that is used here.

Edit /etc/ldap/slapd.conf and make the necessary changes.

database hdb

suffix "dc=example,dc=com"

rootdn "cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com"

rootpw {SSHA}k1wLLf+cCUArjAt2BuFGe6OYdSiayIZd

directory "/var/lib/ldap"

I have no idea on ubuntu , but on rhel /etc/ldap is for client setup for ldap server there is /etc/openldap/slapd.conf

Thanks
