How do you set up an openldap server now. The yast module seems to have gone
Is there a ‘hard way’ documented somewhere

The module should still be available, just not installed on your system for some reason.

Current LEAP documentation for setting up LDAP

https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/security/html/book.security/cha.security.auth.html

Yes, the underlying way of LDAP changed substantially in LEAP 15 compared to earlier versions of openSUSE

That seems to set up ds-389 ldap server. Using openldap2 there doesn’t seem to be a yast module any more.
However as you said, it has changed quite a bit and is more ‘Debian like’ :wink: so piddling around in the conf files
seems to work.

Huh?

  • The current Tumbleweed yast2-auth-server package is at version 4.1.0 – which is newer than the Leap 15.0 package …
  • The Leap Handbook mentions “yast2-auth-server, openldap2, krb5-server, and krb5-client” – the 389-DS isn’t mentioned …
  • The package “389-ds” is available for Tumbleweed – current version 1.4.1.1 – no YaST …

May be I’m doing something wrong as that Yast module doesn’t set up openldap for me
It goes through the motions, says it’s setting up a instance of ldap, downloads 389-ds and
it’s tools and libraries but beyond that I can’t see what it does.

Anyway fiddling with various thing made openldap work fine :slight_smile:
