Below you will find links to download the binary packages and source files. Please see the FAQ section on Open Source for more information.
NOTE: Use the 389-ds-base package from your base distribution. 389-ds-base is part of RHEL and CentOS now. The copr repositories are discontinued.
NOTE: The EL7 admin server and console bits will not be available until after RHEL 7.1 has been released. These bits will then be available from EPEL7.
For the admin server and console bits, you must first install EPEL from https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL.
Then you can install 389-ds-base and get all of the core directory server, admin server, and console components as per the directions below.
Install the server and the admin server/java console
yum install 389-ds-base 389-admin 389-ds-console 389-admin-console setup-ds-admin.pl
Install just DS
yum install 389-ds-base setup-ds.pl
yum [--enablerepo=updates-testing|--enablerepo=epel-testing] upgrade [389-ds-base ...other packages...]
setup-ds-admin.pl -u --> Use "setup-ds.pl" instead if you are not using the Admin Server/Console
If you specify package names on the command line, only those packages will be updated - useful for testing, if you just want to test certain packages without upgrading every package on your system to the testing version. You can use yum downgrade pkgname … pkgname to downgrade the package from the testing version to the stable version.
Upgrading and installing will install many dependencies too, including Java if your platform supports it. If not, see Install Guide for more information about Java.
See Install Guide for more information.
Directory Server 1.4.x now uses a new python installer called dscreate. There are no upgrade options needed in 1.4.x. After installing the latest 389-ds-base-1.4.x package you just need to restart the server.
The new Web UI (Cockpit plugin) requires cockpit-389-ds to be installed (which is a subpackage of 389-ds-base)
See the new Install Guide for more information.
NOTE: If you are upgrading from version 1.1.0, the upgrade will create a new 389 Password Sync folder and copy your files from the old Fedora Password Sync folder. It will not remove the old Fedora Password Sync folder. You can do that manually once you have verified that the new 389 version is working correctly.
NOTE: If you are upgrading from a version older than 1.1.0, install the new version first, then remove the old version from the Add/Remove Programs list in the Control Panel. The new version is 1.1.7.
This is an Active Directory “plug-in” that intercepts password changes made to AD Domain Controllers and sends the clear text password over an encrypted connection (SSL/TLS) to 389 DS to keep the passwords in sync. It works in conjunction with the Windows Sync feature of 389. You must install this on every Domain Controller.
Tested with Windows 2008 and 2012 Server 32-bit and 64-bit.
