I will demonstrating how to connect Apache Directory Studio to an OpenLDAP server on a separate virtual machine. I am going to walk you through the process of installing Apache Directory Studio as well as how to connect it to a working LDAP instance. The project includes:Īpache Directory Server - an extensible and embeddable directory serverĪpache Mavibot - a Multi Version Concurrency Control (MVCC) BTreeĪpache Fortress - a standards-based Access Management SystemĪnd, of course, the Apache Directory Studio, which is a tool intended to be used with any LDAP platform. Īpache Directory Studio is part of the Apache Directory project that strives to increase LDAP awareness, comfort and adoption to bring forth what we call the Modern LDAP Renaissance.

If that’s the case, what do you do? There’s one particular piece of software that does an outstanding job of managing multiple LDAP servers: Apache Directory Studio. However, when you’re managing numerous LDAP servers, you don’t want to have to log in and out of various instances of that tool. Working with LDAP itself can be a bit tricky to that end, many opt to go the phpLDAPadmin route (which is an amazing tool for individual servers). Those modification can be done directly on the config.ldif file, but you won’t have any syntax check if you do so.If you happen to administer one or more OpenLDAP servers, you know that they can be a challenge to work with. (here, we have modified the LDAPS Port from 10636 to 10637) You just have to send a ModifyRequest using such a LDIF : dn: ads-transportid=ldaps,ou=transports,ads-serverId=ldapServer,ou=servers,ads In any case, the ou=transports branch contains two entries :įor LDAP : dn: ads-transportid=ldap,ou=transports,ads-serverId=ldapServer,ou=servers,adĪnd for LDAPS : dn: ads-transportid=ldaps,ou=transports,ads-serverId=ldapServer,ou=servers,a The ports are stored in some entries under DN: ldap,ou=transports,ads-serverId=ldapServer,ou=servers,ads-directoryServiceId=default,ou=config (obviously, dependning on your installation, this DN might change : the ads-directoryServiceId may have a different name, so is the ads-serverId). In order to modify the entry containing the ports, you have first to find it, and second to send a valid modify request.Īll the ApacheDS configuration is stored under the ou=config partition.

The configuration is stored as a set of LDAP entries, so you can update one of them.

You will have to relaunch the server in order to get this new configuration to be available. Modifying the configuration on a running server will **not** change the listening port of the running server.

You can update the ports and save the file.

Opening this file will open the exact same window : But if you want to configure the server when it’s stopped, you will have to load the configuration file, which is on …/instances/default/conf/config.ldif, when the server has been installed using the default setting. You can start it and update the configuration, of course. You have to restart the server afterwards in order to take this change into effect. Now, change the values of port to your needs, then save the configuration. When you select this menu, you will get the main configuration screen, containing the port for LDAP and LDAPS : The best solution is to connect on the server using Studio, and to open it’s configuration : Using Apache Directory Studio The server is started We will see how to change the port in those two cases. Thus on a Unix-System, a non-root process must listen on a port greater than 1023. Due to traditional Unix security restrictions, ports less than 1024 were "trusted".
