Installation tutorial (LDAP Server): OS: Ubuntu 11.04

apt-get install slapd ldap-utils
dpkg-reconfigure slapd

Admin Password: XXXXX
Confirm Password: XXXXX
OK
BDB
Do you want your database to be removed when slapd is purged? ... No

Server should be running by now. You can start creating the tree structure and fill it with entries with:

ldapadd -x -W -D "cn=admin,dc=debuntu,dc=local" -f ~/structure.ldif

structure.ldif could look like this to create tree structures:

structure.ldif:

dn: ou=People,dc=debuntu,dc=local
ou: People
objectClass: organizationalUnit

dn: ou=private_People,dc=debuntu,dc=local
ou: private_People
objectClass: organizationalUnit

The .ldif file could also look like this to add an entry:

add_entry.ldif:

dn: uid=mmustermann,ou=People,dc=debuntu,dc=local
uid: mmustermann
cn: Max Mustermann
sn: Mustermann
givenName: Max
displayName: Max Mustermann
mail: [email protected]
telephoneNumer: 1234/45678
userPassword: jn2b3400923b4
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
objectClass: top
objectClass: person

To edit the access control you have to edit following file:

/etc/ldap/slapd.d/cn=config/olcDatabase={1}bdb.ldif

Here are some example entries:

[...]
olcAccess: {0} to * by self write by "cn=admin,dc=debuntu,dc=local" write
olcAccess: {1} to dn.subtree="ou=private_People,dc=debuntu,dc=local" by "uid=mmustermann,ou=People,dc=debuntu,dc=local" write
[...]

Other useful commands:

slapcat (shows all entries of the ldap if you are on your host)
ldapsearch (Example: ldapsearch -x -b "ou=People,dc=dubuntu,dc=local" -h xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)

Infos about the LDAP Server (Ubuntu) VM:

baseDN: dc=tubs,dc=ibr,dc=android

organizationalUnit structure:
ou=people,dc=tubs,dc=ibr,dc=android
ou=private_people,ou=people,dc=tubs,dc=ibr,dc=android
ou=public_people,ou=people,dc=tubs,dc=ibr,dc=android
