OpenLDAP

Open Source Directory Services

OpenLDAP is an open source implementation of the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) developed by the OpenLDAP Project, a collaborative effort to develop a robust, commercial-grade, fully featured, and open source LDAP suite of applications and development tools.

This appliance includes all the standard features in TurnKey Core, and on top of that:

  • OpenLDAP configurations:
    • Installed and maintained through package management system (slapd ldap-utils packages)
    • Set LDAP domain and admin password on firstboot (convenience, security).
    • TLS support for ldaps out of the box (security).
    • Includes Users/Groups OU and default PosixGroup (convenience).
  • Includes phpLDAPadmin for web based LDAP administration, with SSL support out of the box.
    • Installed from upstream source code to /var/www/phpldapadmin
  • Webmin modules for configuring Apache2, PHP, MySQL and Postfix.

See the OpenLDAP docs for further details.

  1. http://12.34.56.789/ - not encrypted so no browser warning
