Tip
-
Depending on your systems installation state you may want to add the dialog package which allows for feeding additional parameters during package installations (e.g. admin's credentials and base DN).
-
The installation section hints at your host system defined DNS domain being used for deriving your server's DIT root. You may circumvent this obstacle by calling dpkg-reconfigure
slapdafter installation allowing to specify additional parameters manually. -
In case you **ever** loose your master
adminpassword see Change Root DN Password on OpenLDAP for troubleshooting.
You may have to install the dialog package as a prerequisite to the openldap server package:
aptitude install dialog
aptitude install slapdbased on the DNS domain
mi.hdm-stuttgart.de the default slapd
package installer configures a DIT having
dc=mi,dc=hdm-stuttgart,dc=de as root by default. Change
this to dc=betrayer,dc=com by executing
dpkg-reconfigure slapd.
