Installation Procedure

Install Libraries

• yum install migrationtools
• yum install openldap-servers
• yum install openldap-clients
• yum install openldap-devel
• yum install cyrus-sasl
• yum install cyrus-sasl-ldap

Configure LDAP Server

Backend

• vi /etc/sysconfig/iptables
  • Add these lines to open firewall for LDAP server:

-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 389 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 636 -j ACCEPT 

• • service iptables restart
• Generate root password for openldap server: /usr/sbin/slappasswd
• cd /etc/openldap/slapd.d/cn=config
• vi olcDatabase={2}bdb.ldif
  • change oldSuffix to: dc=ucsd,dc=edu
  • change olcRootDN to: cn=Manager,dc=ucsd,dc=edu
  • add a line for olcRootPW to end of file:

    olcRootPW: {SSHA}yourhashhere

  • add certificate lines to end of file:

olcTLSCertificateFile: /etc/pki/tls/certs/slapdcert.pem
olcTLSCertificateKeyFile: /etc/pki/tls/certs/slapdkey.pem

• • add these lines after the last olcDbIndex line:

olcAccess: to attrs=userPassword
       by self write
       by anonymous auth
       by dn.base="cn=Manager,dc=ucsd,dc=edu" write
       by * none
olcAccess: to *
       by self write
       by dn.base="cn=Manager,dc=ucsd,dc=edu" write
       by * read

• vi olcDatabase={1}monitor.ldif
  • in line starting with olcAccess change dc=my-domain to dc=ucsd, and dc=com to dc=edu
• cp /usr/share/openldap-servers/DB_CONFIG.example /var/lib/ldap/DB_CONFIG
  • chown -Rf ldap:ldap /var/lib/ldap
• vi /etc/sysconfig/ldap
  • set: SLAPD_LDAPS=yes
• openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -out /etc/pki/tls/certs/slapdcert.pem -keyout /etc/pki/tls/certs/slapdkey.pem -days 365
  • Country Name (2 letter code) [XX]:US
  • State or Province Name (full name) []:California
  • Locality Name (eg, city) [Default City]:San Diego
  • Organization Name (eg, company) [Default Company Ltd]:UCSD
  • Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:Calit2
  • Common Name (eg, your name or your server's hostname) []:IVL
  • Email Address []: <email_address>
• chown -Rf root:ldap /etc/pki/tls/certs/slapdcert.pem
• chmod -Rf 750 /etc/pki/tls/certs/slapdkey.pem
• slaptest -u
  • this should return "config file testing succeeded"
• service slapd start
  • should return "Starting slapd: [ OK ]"
• chkconfig slapd on
  • shouldn't return anything
• Test server:
  • ldapsearch -x -b “dc=ucsd,dc=edu”
  • You should get a ‘search: 2′ somewhere in the output

Frontend

• create file base.ldif with this content:

dn: dc=ucsd,dc=edu
dc: example
objectClass: top
objectClass: domain

dn: ou=People,dc=ucsd,dc=edu
ou: People
objectClass: top
objectClass: organizationalUnit

dn: ou=Group,dc=ucsd,dc=edu
ou: Group
objectClass: top
objectClass: organizationalUnit

• create file newgroup.ldif with this content:

dn: cn=blah,ou=Group,dc=ucsd,dc=edu
objectClass: posixGroup
objectClass: top
cn: blah
userPassword: {crypt}x
gidNumber: 1000

• create file newpeople.ldif with this content:

dn: uid=blah,ou=People,dc=ucsd,dc=edu
uid: blah
cn: Blah Blah
objectClass: account
objectClass: posixAccount
objectClass: top
objectClass: shadowAccount
userPassword: {CRYPT}cr5y5J6F67Ci2
shadowLastChange: 15140
shadowMin: 0
shadowMax: 99999
shadowWarning: 7
loginShell: /bin/bash
uidNumber: 1000
gidNumber: 1000
homeDirectory: /home/blah

• ldapadd -x -W -D “cn=Manager,dc=ucsd,dc=edu” -f base.ldif
• ldapadd -x -W -D “cn=Manager,dc=ucsd,dc=edu” -f newgroup.ldif
• ldapadd -x -W -D “cn=Manager,dc=ucsd,dc=edu” -f newpeople.ldif
• vi /etc/openldap/ldap.conf
  • Add to end of file:

TLS_CACERT /etc/pki/tls/certs/slapdcert.pem
