Section III - Instructions to run the Builder to Install OpenLDAP, configure and load with seed data

Step 1

The fortress ‘init-slapd’ uses LDAPv3 to perform initial operations.

edit build.properties, ensure the following line has been commented out:

Note: The default for this setting is ‘false’ or disabled.

Step 2

From FORTRESS_HOME root folder, enter the following command from a system prompt: if sudo:

sudo ./b.sh init-slapd 

if not sudo you must run as user that has priv to modify folders in /var and /opt folders:

su

[enter your pw]

before running the command to kick off the install

./b.sh init-slapd

Step 3

Verify it ran correctly according to Ant.

BUILD SUCCESSFUL

Step 4

After above step completes, OpenLDAP will be installed, configured and loaded with fortress bootstrap config. This step also runs provisioning scripts which may be tailored according to requirements. Check out the xml load scripts in FORTRESS_HOME/ldap/setup folder.

Step 5

Point your preferred LDAP browser, ours is Apache Directory Studio, to the installed directory. The configuration parameters you'll need to browse can be found in the generated ‘slapd.conf’ file.

To view data stored in default database:

suffix "dc=openldap,dc=org" 
rootdn "cn=Manager,dc=openldap,dc=org" 
rootpw "secret"

The root pw will be encrypted before stored in slapd.conf

To view data stored in audit log database:

suffix "cn=log"
rootdn "cn=Manager,cn=log"
rootpw "secret"

The log root pw will be encrypted before stored in slapd.conf
