OpenLDAP Installation

[TOP] [BACK TO INSTALL]

We recommend to install openldap from tar archive because the test suite RPM package assume that openldap was installed from tar archive not from RPM package.

OpenLDAP Install from Tar Archive

Confirm that 'db?-3.*' and 'db?-devel-3.*' RPM packages have been installed into your machine. If not, you should install them. Then install as follows.


% tar xvfz openldap-2.1.30.tgz

% cd openldap-2.1.30

% ./configure --enable-referrals --enable-ldbm --disable-bdb

% make depend

% make

% su

% make install

NOTE: In the 'Japanese GPKI Integrated Repository', LDAP version 3 referral response will be sent although you send LDAP version 2 request to server. To emulate such situation '--enable-referrals' option can be added.

What is 'referral'?

A referral is an entity which is used to redirect a request from client to another directory server. Referrals may be used in cross certification environment such like Japanese GPKI.
