Install openldap error

byran cheung · 12-17-2015, 03:20 AM

I just newly installed redhat 6.5 .

checked by rpm -qa |grep openldap checked have "openldap-2.4.40-7.el6_7.x86_64" , but when I want to use is openldap server , client , development .

when run yum install openldap, it pops " Package openldap-2.4.40-7.el6_7.x86_64 already installed and latest version" , when run yum install openldap-server , it pops "No package openldap-server available." , would advise how can I install all openldap package ?

thanks

First, I suppose you mean RHEL 6.5. If so, please upgrade to RHEL 6.7, as you won't get any updates for 6.5.

Do a yum search ldap to find the correct packages.

please upgrade to 6.7

unless you are paying extra to lock it at 6.5

then please post the output of

Code:

yum repolist all

right here is a major problem

register the install and buy the required license
https://www.redhat.com/apps/store/

if you do not pay for redhat then all you can install is what is on the install dvd
" rhel-media Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.7 "

or

migrate to the FREE CentOS 6.7

What do you get when you search?
On my system, admittedly Centos 7:

Code:

$ yum search openldap
(... snip...)
openldap.i686 : LDAP support libraries
openldap.x86_64 : LDAP support libraries
openldap-clients.x86_64 : LDAP client utilities
openldap-devel.i686 : LDAP development libraries and header files
openldap-devel.x86_64 : LDAP development libraries and header files
openldap-servers.x86_64 : LDAP server

So, try the plural, openldap-servers and openldap-clients. And sort out the licensing, too.

thanks reply ,

I have manuallly install the package .

but I am wonder why the openldap-server is not automatically installed by the command "yum install openldap" ? why I need to run "yum install openldap-server" ? in my previous redhat 6 , it can be do .

thanks

I started my Centos 6.7 system. Looks identical to Centos 7:

Code:

$ yum search openldap
(... snip ...)
openldap.i686 : LDAP support libraries
openldap.x86_64 : LDAP support libraries
openldap-clients.x86_64 : LDAP client utilities
openldap-devel.i686 : LDAP development libraries and header files
openldap-devel.x86_64 : LDAP development libraries and header files
openldap-servers.x86_64 : LDAP server

It turns out that the openldap package is installed on that system, but none of the others. So there is no dependency, i.e. installation of openldap won't automatically install clients or servers.

I can't tell if and why the packaging was different at an earlier release.
