12.2. Installing OpenLDAP on Fedora

Problem

You're ready to go to work and get your OpenLDAP server up and running. What's the best way to install it on Fedora?

Solution

Fire up Yum, and install these packages:

	# yum install openldap openldap-servers openldap-clients db4-utils gq

Discussion

Fedora's OpenLDAP implementation does little hand-holding. You'll have to configure it from scratch, correct some file ownerships, and create a database configuration file, which we'll get to in the next recipe. It does create startup files and an ldap system user, and Yum handles dependencies.

You may install from sources if you really really want to. Please visit OpenLDAP.org (http://www.openldap.org/) for instructions.
