To setup basic 389-DS server use following steps:

  1. yum -y install epel-release
  2. If LDAP server is being setup on VM or base machine then do the following: (Not useful for container based setup)
    1. Edit '/etc/sysctl.conf' 
      net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_time = 300
      

      net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000
    2. In '/etc/security/limits.conf' add: 
      *               soft     nofile          8192
      

      *               hard     nofile          8192
    3. Edit '/etc/profile' and at the end append 
      ulimit -n 8192
    4. Edit '/etc/pam.d/login' and after last session required line add 
      session    required     pam_limits.so
  3. Create ldapadmin user and set its password
  4. Install 389-ds and openldap-clients using: 
    yum install -y 389-ds openldap-clients
  5. Ensure that FQDN resolves to IP and with help of /etc/hosts IP resolves to FQDN. Without this setup fails. Even after setup while running the server this is necessary for server to continue working.
  6. Run 'setup-ds-admin.pl' and enter appropriate values to setup the server
    If there is warning of low file-descriptors reboot
    Choose following options
    1. Typical setup
    2. system user is ldapadmin, system group is ldapadmin
    3. register with existing server: no
    4. administrator id : admin
    5. Password: secret
    6. Other appropriate values
  7. Allow incoming TCP connections on port 389, 636 and 9830 in firewall
  8. Configure 389-ds to automatically start on system boot using: 
    chkconfig dirsrv-admin on
    

    chkconfig dirsrv on

To connect to server on administrators machine

  1. Install 389-ds (and not just 389-console)
  2. Use command: 
    389-console -a http://<server-fqdn-or-ip>:9830/

Steps learned from http://www.unixmen.com/setup-directory-serverldap-in-centos-6-4-rhel-6-4/ and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wD-u5TMsfc


Basic setup of 389-ds on CentOS 7.0

These steps did not seem to work

  1. Configure firewall 
    firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=389/tcp
    

    firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=636/tcp
    

    firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=9830/tcp
    Add --zone=internal, if zones are being used
  2. Install packages: 
    yum -y install epel-release
    

    yum install 389-ds-base 389-admin 389-adminutil -y
  3. Ignore SELInux poilcy errors
  4. Enable services to run on startup 
    systemctl enable dirsrv.target
    

    systemctl enable dirsrv-admin
    

    systemctl start dirsrv.target
    

    systemctl start dirsrv-admin
