Configuring LDAP using OpenLDAP

This topic lists the overall steps that are required when configuring an LDAP server using OpenLDAP.

OpenLDAP software is an open-source implementation of LDAP. This topic lists the steps to install OpenLDAP 2.0.x on Red Hat Linux™. Specific versions of LDAP are required, depending on the version of Red Hat Linux. Table 1 shows the Red Hat version and the OpenLDAP build versions.
Table 1. OpenLDAP build versions
Red Hat Linux release OpenLDAP build version
AS2.1 2.0.21
7.3 2.0.23
8.0 2.0.25
9.0 2.0.275
The overall steps required are:
  1. Install the OpenLDAP packages
  2. Configure the OpenLDAP client
  3. Configure the OpenLDAP server
  4. Configure OpenLDAP for SAN File System

The instructions are based on Red Hat Linux 9.0, but other versions should be similar. The instructions for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 should also be similar.
