LDAP01/Install OpenLDAP Under Debian

Showing revision 2
For better or for worse, Debian will attempt to configure many different servers when they are requested. Don't be alarmed, you can always go back and reconfigure these servers manually, but you should be prepared to answer questions whenever installing a new server under Debian.

The package page for OpenLDAP is slapd and can be found online here:

: http://packages.debian.org/unstable/net/slapd.html

Take a look at this page now, and note the dependencies.

Before we attempt to install slapd (or anything under Debian) we should remember to clean and update the apt-get cache:

 # apt-get clean
 # apt-get update

When we are ready to install, we install slapd thusly:

 # apt-get install slapd

You will likely have to install additional libraries. Confirm them and proceed. Next, you will come to a series of dialog boxes.
