Setting up OpenLDAP on a SmartOS zone

2015-01-27

1. Install: pkgin install openldap
2. Configure: vi /opt/local/etc/slapd.conf
3. Get this SMF manifest, save it as, say, slapd.xml: https://gist.github.com/apung/c045c6c3db1df613476d
4. Fix the SMF manifest; in the start method, change /opt/local/sbin/slapd to /opt/local/libexec/slapd
5. Import the gist: svccfg import slapd.xml
6. Start it up: svcadm enable slapd

I find that it takes a second to start up before svcs -xv comes back clean.

Now use Apache Directory Studio to connect, using the credentials you put into the configuration file.

To do:

• Hash the admin password
• Initialize the directory so I can start putting accounts into it
