→INVESTIGATION 1: Connecting a Client Machine to an LDAP server
* You may find it helpful to add a record for vm4 in your DNS, and set up ssh-keys login to vm4.
The '''root ''' password is '''seneca99'''.
OpenLDAP has been set up on it using [https://www.itzgeek.com/how-tos/linux/centos-how-tos/step-step-openldap-server-configuration-centos-7-rhel-7.html this itzgeek guide]. You should read that guide even though you don't need to perform all those steps yourself.
*Use '''ldapsearch''' to confirm that these changes have taken place.
*Note that it is possible to write ldif files to make multiple changes at once, but that is beyond this course.
'''Record steps, commands, and your observations in all INVESTIGATIONS here in your OPS335 lab log-book'''
{{Admon/important |Backup your VMs!|You MUST perform a '''full backup''' of ALL of your VMs whenever you complete your '''OPS335 labs''' or when working on your '''OPS335 assignments'''. You should be using the dump or rsync command, and you should use the Bash shell script that you were advised to create in order to backup all of your VMs.}}
