LDAP Server Installation on Linux

To install LDAP server on Linux, do the following:

1. Stop the Control service (System > Services > LDAP > right-click Stop Module 'Control')

2. Rename folder of c:\Program Files\IceWarp\ldap\data to c:\Program Files\IceWarp\ldap\data.bak

3. Create a new folder - c:\Program Files\IceWarp\ldap\data

4. Edit the c:\Program Files\IceWarp\ldap\slapd.conf file and change the "# ldbm database definitions" section like this:

   atabase bdb

   suffix "o=testes.icewarp.com.br"

   rootdn "cn=Manager,o=testes.icewarp.com.br"

   rootpw put-your-password-here

   # The database directory MUST exist prior to running slapd AND # should only be accessible by the slapd/tools. Mode 700 recommended.

   #directory %LOCALSTATEDIR%/openldap-ldbm

    

   # Indices to maintain

   index objectClass eq

    

   # The database directory MUST exist prior to running slapd AND # should only be accessible by the slapd and slap tools.

   # Mode 700 recommended.

   directory ./data

5. Within the System > Services > LDAP dialog > Properties tab, enter the port number for LDAP (389 by default, if 389 is used (by AD for example), choose an another port).

6. Start the Control service (System > Services > LDAP > right-click Start Module 'Control').

7. Create a new file - c:\Program Files\IceWarp\ldap\create-custom.ldif with the following content:

   o=testes.icewarp.com.br

   objectClass: organization

   o: testes.icewarp.com.br

   description: test

   dn: cn=Manager, o=testes.icewarp.com.br

   objectclass: organizationalRole

   cn: Manager

   description: Directory Manager

    

   dn: ou=users, o=testes.icewarp.com.br

   ou: users

   objectClass: organizationalunit

   objectClass: top

    

   dn: ou=groupes, o=testes.icewarp.com.br

   ou: groupes

   objectClass: organizationalunit

   objectClass: top

8. Add the nodes declared in custom-create.ldif:

   ldapadd -f create-custom.ldif -D "cn=manager, o=testes.icewarp.com.br" -w admin

   (ldapadd.exe is in the c:\Program Files\IceWarp\ldap directory.)

   This command will output:

   adding new entry "o=testes.icewarp.com.br"

   adding new entry "cn=Manager, o=testes.icewarp.com.br"

   adding new entry "ou=users, o=testes.icewarp.com.br"

   adding new entry "ou=groupes, o=testes.icewarp.com.br"

9. Check contents of LDAP:

   ldapsearch -b "o=testes.icewarp.com.br" objectclass=*

   --> it should list four entries.

10. Configure Domains & Accounts > Global Settings > Advanced:

    LDAP server : <IP>:<port>

    Base DN : ou=users, o=testes.icewarp.com.br

    User DN : cn=Manager, o=testes.icewarp.com.br

    password : <the one entered in slapd.conf>

11. On the Domains & Accounts > Global settings > Advanced tab, click the Synchronize All Users... button

12. Check the result, use either the tool.exe file or the command line:

    ldapsearch -b "o=testes.icewarp.com.br" objectclass=*

    --> it should list all 'user' accounts on the server
