Installed FC5 on an old machine to see if can get ldap working. Once it’s ok, will upgrade server to FC5 and install ldap.

Installed the following rpms on the server:
openldap-clients-2.3.19-4
openldap-2.3.19-4
nss_ldap-249-1
php-ldap-5.1.2-5
openldap-servers-2.3.19-4

On the client machines, I have the following rpms:
nss_ldap-207-17
openldap-clients-2.0.27-22
openldap-devel-2.0.27-22
openldap-2.0.27-22

First off, turn off iptables, this was causing the server to block all nfs requests. To see what you’re firewalling, use:

iptables -L -n

On the server, the ldap daemon, slapd, can be started with /etc/rc.d/init.d/ldap start. The default setup started, but now I have to change the configuration files so they work for our setup.

-Made a new certificate slapd.pem in /etc/pki/tls/certs
It should be group ldap, permissions 640.

-Edit /etc/openldap/slapd.conf
