Loading these three would look like this. These three define the basic objects and attributes needed to describe a typical organization: people, groups, rooms etc.
Most LDAP databases will use three standard schema to start: Each one is offered in both the original LDAP schema form and in LDIF. One CentOS/RHEL systems, the stock schema files are located in /etc/openldap/schema. # ldapadd -Q -Y -H ldapi:/// -f filename The call is similar to the ldapsearch command above: The standard schema are provided as LDIF files which can be loaded using the ldapadd command. The schema must be loaded into the configuration database before the objects they define can be used in the user database. Each of the data objects is defined in a schema which describes the attributes of the object. # cp /usr/share/openldap-servers/DB_CONFIG.example /var/lib/ldap/DB_CONFIGĪt this point you can start and enable de slapd service:Īn LDAP service is a database in one traditional sense. usr/share/openldap-servers/DB_CONFIG.exampleįirst step is to copy this default file to the production directory: CentOS/RHEL offers a default tuning file and I generally use it unchanged which is located at: The tuning is set in a file called DB_CONFIG which resides in the same directory as the database files (/var/lib/ldap). The BDB derivatives are very tunable to a level to which most people will not be interested. CentOS/RHEL automatically creates an initial database with the hdb format.
A more recent version tuned for hierarchical databases like LDAP is known as “hdb”. The standard Berkeley DB format is indicated by “bdb”. OpenLDAP typically defaults to using one of two varieties of the Berkeley DB storage format.
