Powerful Open Source LDAP

From Port389

Quick Start

Running Setup

To set up a new directory server and admin server, or to create another instance of directory server which can be managed by the console, use the command setup-ds-admin.pl.

To set up a new directory server instance which will not be managed by the console, use setup-ds.pl.

See FDS_Setup for more information about the options of the setup-ds-admin.pl and setup-ds.pl scripts.

The Install Guide provides detailed step-by-step instructions about the various prompts and the suggested values to provide during the setup process.

Completion

The setup utility will configure a database instance and start the LDAP server (ns-slapd), and the administration server (httpd).

If everything went as expected, you should be now able to connect to your LDAP server as "cn=directory manager", using the password you supplied earlier. You can also type "fedora-idm-console". For the username and password, you can provide the Administrator ID and password. For the server url, if there is no default value in there already, you can use "http://localhost:9830/" - i.e. the same port you provided above for the administration server, which uses port 9830 as the default.
