Install LDAP
Before install ldap, set-up a valid FQDN for your hostname:
- Edit /etc/hostname, for example
void.kassiansun.com - Restart the host
If you’ve installed ldap before, purge them all:
sudo apt-get remove --purge slapd ldap-utils -y
Now we can install the ldap packages:
sudo apt-get install slapd ldap-utils -y
During the installation, it will prompt to set the default password.
Test that you now have a valid LDAP tree:
# Output:
# dn:
# namingContexts: dc=kassiansun,dc=com
ldapsearch -H ldap://localhost -x -LLL -s base -b "" namingContexts
Clean-Up Old apache2 and php installation
sudo apt-get remove --purge apache2 phpldapadmin php*
If you’re not using apache or php on your machine, clean them all so we can get started from the scratch.
Install phpldapadmin
Add php repository to install php 7.4:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
Install phpldapamin with:
sudo apt-get install php7.4 apache2 phpldapadmin php7.4-common php7.4-ldap php7.4-xml
The key point is that phpldapadmin is not compatible with php 8.x, but Ubuntu will install 8.x by default. To fix it, we need to overwrite the default package versions.
Use phpldapadmin
Open http://localhost/phpldapadmin/ in your browser, now you should be able to login with the ldap password we’ve set before.
