I’d done played with samba pdc and recently got some free time to give a try with openldap running on top of Noguix linux. My target, hopefully in near future I can have my samba server integrate with ldap authentication. To have basic ldap server running we just need to fulfill all the requirement such as:-

• openldap server v2.3.24 & tools (include client - can be download from Noguix ftp)
• Ldap Browser / Editor v2.8.2

Step : Openldap Installation

• Install openldap
• Edit slapd.conf
• $useradd ldap
• $chown -R ldap:users /var/openldap-data
• $cp /var/openldap-data/DB_CONFIG.example /var/openldap-DB_CONFIG
• $slappasswd
• $slaptest
• $/usr/libexec/slapd &

Step :Create base Organization Unit

$vi /var/openldap-data/bin/machine.ldif and edit as below :

dn: ou=machine, dc=no-x, dc=org
objectClass: organizationalUnit
ou: machine
$ldapadd -x -D “cn=Manager, dc=no-x, dc=org” -W -f /var/openldap-data/machine.ldif

$ldapsearch -xh localhost -b ‘ou=users, dc=no-x, dc=org’ ‘(objectclass=*)’

Step :Ldap Browser / Editor Installation

• $tar -zxvf ../Browser282b2.tar.gz
• $cd /Browser282b2/ldapbrowser
• $/lbe.sh

Now you should get the same as mine as below:-
