*Install Stand-Alone LDAP Daemon:
sudo apt install slapd ldap-utils
*Set a password for the admin entry in the LDAP directory
*Check out status of slapd
systemctl status slapd
*Basic Post-Installation Configuration:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure slapd
Omit LDAP server configuration: NO
DNS domain name: Enter your domain name: testlab.com
Organization name: TestLab
Administrator password: Enter the same password set during installation
Database backend: MDB
BDB (Berkeley Database) is slow and cumbersome. It is deprecated and support will be dropped in future OpenLDAP releases.
HDB (Hierarchical Database) is a variant of the BDB backend and will also be deprecated.
MDB reads are 5-20x faster than BDB. Writes are 2-5x faster. And it consumes 1/4 as much RAM as BDB.
Do you want the database to be removed when slapd is purged? No
Move old database? Yes
Allow LDAPv2 protocol? No
The latest version of LDAP is LDAP v.3, developed in 1997. LDAPv2 is obsolete.
