Setup basic 389-DS server
To setup basic 389-DS server use following steps:
- yum -y install epel-release
- If LDAP server is being setup on VM or base machine then do the following: (Not useful for container based setup)
- Edit '/etc/sysctl.conf'
- net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_time = 300
- net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000
- In '/etc/security/limits.conf' add:
- * soft nofile 8192
- * hard nofile 8192
- Edit '/etc/profile' and at the end append
- ulimit -n 8192
- Edit '/etc/pam.d/login' and after last session required line add
- session required pam_limits.so
- Edit '/etc/sysctl.conf'
- Create ldapadmin user and set its password
- Install 389-ds and openldap-clients using:
- yum install -y 389-ds openldap-clients
- 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.
- 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
- Typical setup
- system user is ldapadmin, system group is ldapadmin
- register with existing server: no
- administrator id : admin
- Password: secret
- Other appropriate values
- Allow incoming TCP connections on port 389, 636 and 9830 in firewall
- Configure 389-ds to automatically start on system boot using:
- chkconfig dirsrv-admin on
- chkconfig dirsrv on
To connect to server on administrators machine
- Install 389-ds (and not just 389-console)
- Use command:
- 389-console -a http://<server-fqdn-or-ip>:9830/
