Making and Installing the U-M LDAP Distribution
Making and Installing the OpenLDAP Distribution
===============================================
** It is recommended that you read or at least skim through ALL of the
** instructions in this file before attempting to build the software.
This file provides brief instructions on how to build and install
OpenLDAP on UNIX (and UNIX-like) system. More detailed information
and instructions can be found in The OpenLDAP Administrator's Guide
(available from http://www.openldap.org/doc/).
If you want to build binaries for more than one platform from a single
source tree, skip ahead to the "Building LDAP For More Than One Platform"
section near the end of this file. If you are planning to run slapd,
you should read the "SLAPD and SLURPD Administrator's Guide", found in
the doc/guides/ directory within the distribution.
It is recommended that you read, or at least skim through, ALL of the
instructions in this file before attempting to build the software.
If you simply want to build LDAP for a single machine platform, follow
these steps:
It is also recommended you review the Frequently Asked Questions
(http://www.openldap.org/faq/) pages, in particular the Installation
section (http://www.openldap.org/faq/index.cgi?file=8) and Platform
Hints (http://www.openldap.org/faq/index.cgi?file=9) should be
examined.
1. untar the distribution and cd to the top:
Making and Installing the OpenLDAP Distribution
-----------------------------------------------
% zcat ldap-3.3.tar.Z | tar xf -
% cd ldap-3.3
1. Unpack the distribution and change directory:
If you are reading this file, you probably have already done this!
% tar xfz openldap-VERSION.tgz
% cd openldap-VERSION
(replacing VERSION with the appropriate version string). If you
are reading this file, you probably have already done this!
2. edit the files Make-common and include/ldapconfig.h.edit to configure
the software for your site (the files are well-commented):
2. Type:
% vi Make-common
% vi include/ldapconfig.h.edit
% ./configure --help
Note that you should NOT need to edit the Makefile located at the
top of the distribution.
to list available configuration options.
If you just want to see if things will build, you can leave the
configuration alone and change it later.
The configure script uses environmental variables for determining
compiler/linker options including:
If you have the ISODE package built and want to build the
LDAP-to-X.500 server (ldapd), be sure to uncomment the appropriate
lines near the end of the Make-common file. By default only the
stand-alone server, LDAP libraries and client software are built.
Variable Description Example
CC C compiler gcc
CFLAGS C flags -O -g
CPPFLAGS cpp flags -I/path/include -Ddef
LDFLAGS ld flags -L/usr/local/lib
LIBS libraries -llib
PATH command path /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
3. make the software:
3. Configure the build system
% make
% [env settings] ./configure [options]
If all goes well, then make will figure out what platform you are on,
pick a compiler to use, construct Makefiles, and build everything.
If you see a message like "unknown platform..." LDAP has probably not
been set up to build on your machine. See the file build/PORTS for
hints on what to do in that case.
If all goes well, the configure script with automatically detect
the appropriate settings. However, you may need to specify
options and/or environment variables to obtain desired results.
Note that if your make does not use the Bourne (sh) shell by
default when executing internal scripts (reportedly the case on SGI
machines at least), you will need to run the make explicitly from
within a Bourne shell. If you a syntax error such as "Missing ]"
when you do the make under your usual shell, try this:
4. Build dependencies
% sh
$ make
% make depend
If you don't like the some of the platform-specific options chosen
by the automatic build process (such as the compiler to use, etc),
you can intervene and edit them before anything is actually compiled
by explicitly doing a "make platform" step, editing the .make-platform
file (actually a link to the file to be edited), and then doing a
regular make:
5. Build the system
% make platform
% vi .make-platform
% make
% make
If you want to choose the build platform yourself from among those that
the distribution supports, cd to the appropriate directory underneath
build/platforms and make from there. For example, if you are on a
machine running SunOS 4.1.4 and you want to force the use of the cc
compiler, you would do this:
If all goes well, the system will build as configured. If not,
return to step 3 after reviewing the configuration settings. You
may want to consult the Platform Hints subsection of the FAQ if
you have not done so already.
% cd build/platforms/sunos4-cc
% make
6. Test the standalone system
If you want to run some simple tests after the build is complete, you
can do this:
This step requires the standalone LDAP server, slapd(8), with
LDBM support.
% make test
% make test
4. install the binaries and man pages. You may need to be superuser to
do this (depending on where you are installing things):
If all goes well, the system has been built as configured. If
not, return to step 4 after reviewing your configuration
settings. You may want to consult the Installation section of
the FAQ if you have not done so already.
% su
# make install
7. install the binaries and man pages. You may need to be come the
super-user (e.g. root) to do this (depending on where you are
installing things):
That's it! See the man pages for the individual clients for information
on configuring and using them. Eventually you will probably want to
edit the configuration files used by the various clients (installed in
the LDAP etc directory). The files are:
% su root -c 'make install'
ldapfilter.conf - search filter configuration
ldapfriendly - mapping of X.500 names to human-friendly names
ldapsearchprefs.conf - search object definitions
ldaptemplates.conf - display template definitions
8. That's it!
There are section 5 man pages for all of these files.
See the OpenLDAP Administrator's Guide and the manual pages for the
individual applications for configuration and use information. You may
also want to edit the configuration files used by the various
components. These configuration files are located in the OpenLDAP
configuration directory (normally /usr/local/etc/openldap).
ldap.conf client defaults
slapd.conf Standalone LDAP daemon
schema/*.schema Schema Definitions
Building LDAP For More Than One Platform
End of OpenLDAP INSTALL file.
It is now possible to build LDAP for more than one platform from the same
source tree. This is accomplished by some rules in the Makefiles that
create a shadow (linked) directory tree where the binaries are placed.
$OpenLDAP: pkg/openldap-guide/release/install.sdf,v 1.16 2002/02/18

Follow these steps for each different platform:
1. move to the directory that matches the platform and compiler you
want to build for and type make. The directories are all located
underneath the build/platforms directory. If your platform is not
there, you may need to do a port - see the build/PORTS file for
more information. For a Sun running SunOS 4.1.4, you might do
this:
% cd build/platforms/sunos4-cc
% make links
This will create a linked source area.
2. move to the new directory and make as for a single platform. Follow steps
1-4 above to accomplish this. For example:
% cd obj-sunos4-cc
% make
That's all there is to it. You can also create the linked source area(s)
by just typing "make links" at the top of the distribution, in which case
the Makefile will try to automatically determine the platform and
compiler.

UM-LDAP 3.3 README file
OpenLDAP 2.1 ALPHA README
For a description of what this distribution contains, see the
ANNOUNCEMENT file in this directory.
This is the UM-LDAP version 3.3 distribution. For a description of
what this distribution contains, see the ANNOUNCEMENT file in this
directory. For a description of changes from previous releases,
see the CHANGES file in this directory. For a more detailed
description of how to make and install the distribution, see the
INSTALL file in this directory. For more information on making and
installing slapd, see the "SLAPD and SLURPD Administrator's Guide"
in the doc/guides/ directory.
This is a 2.1 alpha release.
It is NOT intended for general use.
MAKING AND INSTALLING THE DISTRIBUTION
You should be able to make and install the distribution with a pretty
standard default configuration by typing the following commands
REQUIRED SOFTWARE
Build OpenLDAP requires a number of software packages to be
preinstalled. Additional information regarding prerequisite
software can be found in the OpenLDAP Administrator's Guide.
Base system (libraries and tools):
Standard C compiler (required)
Cyrus SASL 1.5 (recommended)
OpenSSL 0.9 (recommended)
POSIX REGEX software (required)
% make
% su
# make install
SLAPD:
LDBM compatible datastore (required)
[Sleepycat Berkeley DB 3.2 (recommended) or GDBM]
in this directory. This should produce something that basically
works.
SLURPD:
LTHREAD compatible thread package
[POSIX threads, Mach Cthreads, select others]
You will probably want to do a little configuration to suit your
site, though. There are two files you might want to edit:
CLIENTS/CONTRIB ware:
Depends on package. See per package README.
Make-common This file contains definitions for
where things will be installed, where
to find various things, etc. If you
want to build an ldap server, you'll
definitely need to edit this file
include/ldapconfig.h.edit This file contains #defines used
by many parts of the distribution.
You'll at least want to change
DEFAULT_BASE.
MAKING AND INSTALLING THE DISTRIBUTION
Please see the INSTALL file for basic instructions. More
detailed instructions can be found in the OpenLDAP
Admnistrator's Guide (see DOCUMENTATION section).
