3. OpenLDAP client setup

• Setup
  • Open the file /etc/ldap/ldap.conf in a text editor (the location of this file may vary!).
  • Edit the file to look something like this:

              server ldap.demo.nett.org
              base dc=demo,dc=nett,dc=org
              
    

  • Save the file.
• Usage
  • Then you may use ldapsearch from the command line:

  • $ ldapsearch "(objectclass=person)"
    

  • You should now get some output viewing some person objects from the directory.
