2. Openldap Configuration:

Full documentation of OpenLDAP exists in www.openldap.org. The general procedure for configuration of OpenLDAP server and client that I tried to follow on RedHat 9,

1. I installed the openldap RPMS, openldap-2.0.7-14.i386.rpm, openldap-servers-2.0.7- 14.i386.rpm and openldap-clients-2.0.7-14.i386.rpm from the CD for RedHat 9.

Using LDAP will almost certainly require you to install the PAM libraries for LDAP. These are packaged in with the nss_ldap package, so I just installedit.

2. Configuration of OpenLDAP is done through the /etc/openldap/slapd.conf file. In this work I used the following simple configuration file:

# See slapd.conf(5) for details on configuration options.
