openLDAP installation

I just installed Arch for the first time on my raspberry pi.  I followed the install guide for openLDAP on the wiki but noticed that a few extra steps were necessary.

After:

# cp /etc/openldap/DB_CONFIG.example /var/lib/openldap/openldap-data/DB_CONFIG
# chown ldap:ldap /var/lib/openldap/openldap-data/DB_CONFIG

I had to run:

chown ldap:ldap /etc/openldap
mdkir /run/openldap
chown ldap:ldap /run/openldap

I wanted to see if anyone else was running would verify that these steps are necessary.  If not maybe someone will find this helpful.

Re: openLDAP installation

The chown on /etc/openldap I had to do as well. I am still struggling to get TLS to work according the instructions. I do not manage to get a self signed cerificate served by slapd.

@maarten21: I know your pain. To that end, I have a script that will get you from nothing to TLS configured and working in 5 minutes. I'm not sure where to post it, though.

Re: openLDAP installation

Why not share the script here?

Edit: Replaced the static code here with a link to the public Github repository: https://github.com/FOSSperts/archlinux- … aperver.sh

wget https://github.com/FOSSperts/archlinux-openldap/blob/master/createldapserver.sh
# run as root
chmod 700 createldapserver.sh    # change permissions to executable for the owner
./createldapserver.sh                     # run the script

Re: openLDAP installation

Thanks. Script works.

Figured out: what misses on the wiki page is the 'rm -rf $configdir'

Re: openLDAP installation

Thanks for testing! Added a link to the script on the [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OpenLDAP OpenLDAP page]. It's a public repository on Github now, so users will get future bugfixes.
