Hi, can you make a video on setting up LDAP server on Ubuntu 9.04?

First of all, slapd.conf was already removed in there so I'm having a hard time.

Also, can you pls. comment on this, type: Ubuntu Server 9.04 PDC in Google. It's a HOWTO tutorial. Sorry, I can't seem to post comments w/ links.

He's talking about removing something, which I'm afraid to do since it might give me headaches in the future.

I will subscribe to your channel to wait for your video.

Thanks.

I only use 8.04 in my tutorials because it is Ubuntu's LTS release which means it has a longer life cycle (very important in a corp environment). I haven't done much with 9.04 but there are some big changes to LDAP

I do apologise that I will not be making another video on 9.04 because I simply couldn't show how to do this for every Linux distro or even every Ubuntu release out there.

Best of luck. If you get stuck setting this up with 8.04 flick me a message and I will try my best to help out.

Hi there,

But nothing about the slapd.conf file. Can you do another video ?

Impressive work ! Great tutorials. Very Helpfull.

Just released when i was looking for :)

I'm actually working on a Project wich consist of trust and provide certificates to users by using OpenLDAP Maybe it will be interesting for you.

Cheers

Thanks for the comment. I'm glad to hear that it has been some help.

Yeah I kept the video very simple so as to fit it into the 10 minutes the youtube will allow. I'm planning to do another three videos on this subject. The first that I am almost ready to put together is on setting up TLS for LDAP using a selfsigned certificate (might do a video on setting up a CA at a later date).

@kartikdadwal

try:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure slapd

that should work for you.

@kenannn11 Not needed.

Thanks for the Video. Very good introduction for starters. But I admit that I had to read a bit about LDAP before this.

Working under Root session, not a good idea;

[wolfricacc]

when i go to set up the posixgroup the gid number is empty (yellow highlighted) and i can't enter any values? Any ideas?

[kenannn11]

Is there a need to set up NFS before setting up a LDAP server ?

[dbiswas123]

Short, yet excellent! Thank you ...Please also show what a system-admin need to do on daily basis with LDAP server and LDAP protocols and issues faced and how to address those issue . I know you are busy. If published will be a great all-time-hit and help many new system admins like me. Until then , thanks again
