Comments and suggestions concerning this book should be mailed to gmourani@videotron.ca © Copyright 1999-2000 Gerhard Mourani and Open Network Architecture ® 320 The “strip” command would discard all symbols from the object files. This means that our binaries files will be smaller in size. This will improve a bit the performance hit to the program since they will be fewer lines to read by the system when it’ll execute the binary. Cleanup after work [root@deep /]# cd /var/tmp [root@deep tmp]# rm -rf ldap openldap-version.tgz The “rm” command will remove all the source files we have used to compile and install OpenLDAP. It will also remove the OpenLDAP compressed archive from the “/var/tmp” directory. Configurations All software we describe in this book has a specific directory and subdirectory in a tar compressed archive named “floppy.tgz” containing file configurations for the specific program. If you get this archive file, you wouldn’t be obliged to reproduce the different configuration files bellow manually or cut and past them to create your configuration files. Whatever your decide to copy manually or get the files made to your convenience from the archive compressed files, it will be to your responsibility to modify, adjust for your needs and place the files related to OpenLDAP software to their appropriated places on your server machine, like show bellow. The server configuration files archive to download is located at the following Internet address: http://pages.infinit.net/lotus1/opendocs/floppy.tgz · To run OpenLDAP server, the following files are require and must be create or copied to their appropriated directories on your server. Copy the slapd.conf file in the “/etc/openldap/” directory. Copy the ldap script file in the “/etc/rc.d/init.d/” directory. You can obtain configuration files listed bellow on our floppy.tgz archive. Copy the following files from the decompressed floppy.tgz archive to their appropriated places or copy and paste them directly from this book to the concerned file. Configuration of the “/etc/ldap/slapd.conf” file The “/etc/openldap/slapd.conf” file is the main configuration file for the stand-alone LDAP daemon. Options like: permission, password, database type, database location and so on can be configured on this file and will apply to “slapd” daemon as a whole. In the example bellow we configure the “slap.conf” file for an LDBM backend database. Edit the slapd.conf file (vi /etc/openldap/slapd.conf) and add/adjust the following information: # # See slapd.conf(5) for details on configuration options. # This file should NOT be world readable. # include /etc/openldap/slapd.at.conf include /etc/openldap/slapd.oc.conf schemacheck off #referral ldap://ldap.itd.umich.edu pidfile /var/run/slapd.pid argsfile /var/run/slapd.args ####################################################################### # ldbm database definitions  #######################################################################
