I would like to post an update on our previous OpenLDAP source installation, but I encountered an error so, enough with the source thing and let’s install one from packages which is available on Sunfreeware.
OpenLDAP is an open source implementation of the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. These build packages installs in /usr/local/
Requirements and Dependencies
Here’s what packages you’ll need:
Dependencies are:
- openssl-0.9.8e
- sasl-2.1.21
- libiconv,
- db-4.2.52.NC
- libgcc_s.so.1 which you can get on libgcc-3.4.6 or gcc-3.4.6
This implementation of OpenLDAP was build on a sparc machine Sun Blade 100 workstation running Solaris 8.
Installing Packages
You can go ahead and refer to this post in using the pkgadd .
Once all the packages are installed above, the binary can be found in /usr/local/bin , /usr/local/sbin and config files are in /usr/local/etc.
There are some more setup and configuration to setup (like setting of variables) but as far as installation is concern, we’re done.
See you on the next post about configuration for OpenLDAP
