Comments on How to install OpenLDAP Server on Debian or Ubuntu

One of the things on my to-do list is making LDAP store ssh keys for user accounts.
I just need to find some time and documentation about managing the LDAP database to change it's structure a bit. Reading such tutorial after this one would make the subject more complete.

I don't understand why php5-mysql would be required for phpLDAPadmin, given that OpenLDAP uses HDB and the connector to MySQL is deprecated for OpenLDAP. Why did you need this here? Thanks.

Hi,

Able to connect LDAP via client/browser and able to create new users but these users are not syncing to linux system.I am unable to find these users in ubuntu.Please advice.

Excellent tutorial!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks a lot..........................

If you get template errors in phpldapadmin, then you just need to go to: /usr/share/phpldapadmin/lib/TemplateRender.php and change the line: $default = $this->getServer()->getValue('appearance','password_hash'); to this: $default = $this->getServer()->getValue('appearance','password_hash_custom'); 

Hello,

Please tell me how can I add client machine (windows pc).

It's a shame to use PHPMyAdmin to manage the installation... Everything is done via the WebGUI so you don't really know what's happening behind the scenes (no command(s) knowledge)... Simple point and click... You don't learn like this... Again, thanks for taking the time and write the tutorial. I just don't like GUI's :)

Excellent tutorial for new ldap setup
