NEXT - STEP 2
Contents
Step 1 - Local server LDAP configuration
Step 1.1 - Login
Login to the server:
http://wiki.lib.sun.ac.za/index.php/SUNScholar/Prepare_Ubuntu/S01
Step 1.2 - Install software
To check LDAP works, first install the following:
sudo apt-get install ldap-utils ldap-auth-config
Fill in all the details as requested during the installation.
Step 1.3 - Prepare ldap.conf
Go to the following folder:
cd /etc/ldap
Copy the original ldap.conf:
sudo cp ldap.conf ldap.conf-orig
Delete the original:
sudo rm ldap.conf
Create a link to the master ldap.conf
sudo ln -s ../ldap.conf
Example listing of ldap files.
root@ir1:/etc/ldap# ls -l total 8 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 2010-09-17 20:13 ldap.conf -> ../ldap.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 245 2011-12-19 18:19 ldap.conf.dpkg-new -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 245 2010-09-17 20:12 ldap.conf-orig
Step 1.4 - Modify ldap.conf
Type the following;
sudo nano /etc/ldap.conf
See the example ldap.conf file below for recommended settings.
###DEBCONF### ## ## Configuration of this file will be managed by debconf as long as the ## first line of the file says '###DEBCONF###' ## ## You should use dpkg-reconfigure to configure this file via debconf ## # # @(#)$Id: ldap.conf,v 1.38 2006/05/15 08:13:31 lukeh Exp $ # # This is the configuration file for the LDAP nameservice # switch library and the LDAP PAM module. # # PADL Software # http://www.padl.com # # Your LDAP server.

Password is # stored in /etc/ldap.secret (mode 600) #rootbinddn cn=manager,dc=padl,dc=com # The port. # Optional: default is 389. #port 636
Step 1.5 - Test LDAP lookup
Now run a search on the LDAP server:
sudo ldapsearch -x cn=hgibson
Use whatever filters and attributes that are needed for your campus LDAP server.
If the search is successful then you may continue to setup DSpace.
