OpenLDAP is an open source implementation of the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol for Unix-like systems. This means OpenLDAP is free to use, free to distribute, and it runs on most major operating systems. Although LDAP was originally developed by Netscape, it has been extended to the point of being able to manage almost any type of network access authentication and directory service. OpenLDAP provides a lot of features that have been disabled by default in other LDAP services because they potentially pose a security risk. However, these features can be enabled or disabled by administrators if desired. In addition, LDAP supports a set of extensions to the original LDAP protocol that help enhance its behavior and security by re-establishing some of the security characteristics typically found in proprietary directory services and Internet technologies. Programs can use these extensions to add support for: 1: User identity control: enabling and disabling user account creation; blocking or allowing additional or unknown users; authentication based on usernames; validation of usernames; time zone support; and display names. 2: Account lockout: preventing brute force attacks against passwords; recovering from failed attempts; and setting lock-out periods for failed attempts. 3: Extra access control: controlling password policy; preventing password guessing; and converting to UPPER CASE, lower case, or numbers. 4: Search criteria control: denying search criteria; allowing or denying complex matching of entries; and application of custom search filters. 5: Security enhancement mechanisms such as secure communications over SSL/TLS (Schannel), SASL GSSAPI, and LDAPv3 TLS (RFC4511). The following are the most common settings that an administrator will find when working with OpenLDAP. Set up a local test database to use when testing different options. Then, create a user with exactly the desired name in the example above. Drop the user to make sure it works. (Setting up LDAP servers) The first thing an administrator needs to do is decide which kind of LDAP server is desired. OpenLDAP supports both LDIF (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol data format) and AD (Active Directory), but they are not interchangeable. The following instructions assume you want to use Active Directory for your LDAP server. To create an Active Directory server, you will need to purchase or license it from Microsoft. (Step 1) Create an Active Directory domain with the "Entire Forest" option selected. (DomainControllerName : dc1.chgchgchgchgchgchggchggchggchggchggchggchggchgg.example.com) You can also use "Local Domain (Default Domain)" which will make the LDAP server available under the CN=Default Domain,CN=System,DC=example,DC=com sub-domain. cfa1e77820
