OpenLDAP Server and client Configuration
OpenLDAP Server Configuration directory
Please note that the following procedure only works for CentOS Linux starting from version 7.0.
- Top of the configure directory for the OpenLDAP server slapd: /etc/openldap/slapd.d/cn=config
[root@localhost cn=schema]# ls -l /etc/openldap/slapd.d/cn\=config total 20 drwxr-x---. 2 ldap ldap 104 Nov 22 18:35 cn=schema -rw-------. 1 ldap ldap 378 Dec 16 2015 cn=schema.ldif -rw-------. 1 ldap ldap 513 Dec 16 2015 olcDatabase={0}config.ldif -rw-------. 1 ldap ldap 443 Dec 16 2015 olcDatabase={-1}frontend.ldif -rw-------. 1 ldap ldap 562 Dec 16 2015 olcDatabase={1}monitor.ldif -rw-------. 1 ldap ldap 609 Dec 16 2015 olcDatabase={2}hdb.ldif
- Some notes:
- cn=schema - contains the schema to be loaded by the slapd server.
- olcDatabase={2}hdb.ldif - the main configuration for the OpenLDAP server's database.
- Initial contents in the "cn=schema" directory:
[root@localhost cn=schema]# ls -l total 40 -rw-------. 1 ldap ldap 15578 Dec 16 2015 cn={0}core.ldif
- Initial contents in the "olcDatabase={2}hdb.ldif" file:
[root@localhost cn=config]# cat olcDatabase\=\{2\}hdb.ldif # AUTO-GENERATED FILE - DO NOT EDIT!! Use ldapmodify. # CRC32 2e34fa34 dn: olcDatabase={2}hdb objectClass: olcDatabaseConfig objectClass: olcHdbConfig olcDatabase: {2}hdb olcDbDirectory: /var/lib/ldap olcSuffix: dc=my-domain,dc=com olcRootDN: cn=Manager,dc=my-domain,dc=com olcDbIndex: objectClass eq,pres olcDbIndex: ou,cn,mail,surname,givenname eq,pres,sub structuralObjectClass: olcHdbConfig entryUUID: 356a18aa-384e-1035-958d-25b49e5bf54e creatorsName: cn=config createTimestamp: 20151216143659Z entryCSN: 20151216143659.541486Z#000000#000#000000 modifiersName: cn=config modifyTimestamp: 20151216143659Z
To use OpenLDAP directory to host Linux user accounts, you need to import three more existing schema: cosine, nis, and inetorgperson for the slapd server. You also need to update the following fields in the "olcDatabase={2}hdb.ldif" file:
- olcSuffix - update to reflect your base context (or naming context)
- olcRootDN - update to match your naming context
- olcRootPW - add password for authenticating the Directory Server Manager (i.e. olcRootDN)
Start slapd and add additional schema
After installing the openldap-servers rpm package, you should be able to start the OpenLDAP server slapd with the following command:
systemctl start slapd.service
To configure your system to start slapd.server at system boot, run the following command:
systemctl enable slapd.service
You can now import the three required schema:
ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /etc/openldap/schema/cosine.ldif ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /etc/openldap/schema/nis.ldif ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /etc/openldap/inetorgperson.ldif
Check the directory content in "/etc/openldap/slapd.d/cn=config/cn=schema"
[root@localhost cn=config]# ls -l cn\=schema total 40 -rw-------. 1 ldap ldap 15578 Dec 16 2015 cn={0}core.ldif -rw-------. 1 ldap ldap 11455 Nov 22 18:34 cn={1}cosine.ldif -rw-------. 1 ldap ldap 6587 Nov 22 18:35 cn={2}nis.ldif -rw-------. 1 ldap ldap 2949 Nov 22 18:35 cn={3}inetorgperson.ldif
Check current "naming context" of the OpenLDAP directory
[root@localhost cn=config]# ldapsearch -x -b '' -s base namingContexts # extended LDIF # # LDAPv3 # base <> with scope baseObject # filter: (objectclass=*) # requesting: namingContexts # # dn: namingContexts: dc=my-domain,dc=com # search result search: 2 result: 0 Success # numResponses: 2 # numEntries: 1
Changing the "naming context" i.e. olcSuffix, and update the olcRootDN and olcRootPW
Create the following LDIF file and name it "newbase.ldif:
# cutomize domain name dn: olcDatabase={2}hdb,cn=config changetype: modify replace: olcSuffix olcSuffix: dc=ops535,dc=com dn: olcDatabase={2}hdb,cn=config changetype: modify replace: olcRootDN olcRootDN: cn=Manager,dc=ops535,dc=com dn: olcDatabase={2}hdb,cn=config changetype: modify add: olcRootPW olcRootPW: {SSHA}1Di4Suea6ojE2bFxJhLDScjQyQ97GSef
Run the following command to preform the update:
ldapmodify -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f newbase.ldif
Check the content of the file /etc/openldap/slapd.d/cn=config/olcDatabase={2}hdb.ldif to confirm.
Important LDAP Commands and Sample LDIF files
- LDIF file for the base entry
- LDIF file for new POSIX User accounts
- ldapadd, ldapsearch, ldapdelete command
Tools/Utilities for Testing OpenLDAP Server
- ldapsearch
- To display LDAP Protocol features and extensions supported by OpenLDAP, use the following ldapsearch examples:

OpenLDAP client configuration
- /etc/openldap/ldap.conf
- This is the configuration file for the ldap clients. The following are ldap client programs:
- ldapadd
- ldapcompare
- ldapdelete
- ldapmodify
- ldapmodrdn
- ldappasswd
- ldapsearch
- ldapwhoami
- You could set/modify the following directives:
- BASE
- URL
- This is the configuration file for the ldap clients. The following are ldap client programs:
- /etc/ldap.conf
- This is the configuration file for the LDAP nameservice switch library and the LDAP PAM module
- You could set/modify the following directives:
- base
- host - IP or hostname of the LDAP server. If you use hostname, it must be resolvable without using LDAP. Multiple hosts may be specified, each separated by a space.
Using OpenLDAD for Apache Basic Authentication
- In httpd.conf configure the directory for basic authentication for apache 2.0
