INSTALLATION

First of all, you have to install the prerequisites. There are lots of:

An LDAP Server

You need some LDAP server. We are using the OpenLDAP server, see

http://www.openldap.org/

In theory any other LDAP server should do, but the servers configuration might be different.

A source RPM for Red Hat Linux is available on demand.

To configure the LDAP server, edit the file topics.ldif from the distribution. Currently it looks like

dc=ispsoft, dc=de
objectclass: organization
o: My Organization Name

dn: topic=user, dc=ispsoft, dc=de
name: user
objectclass: topic

dn: topic=net, dc=ispsoft, dc=de
name: net
objectclass: topic

Change "dc=ispsoft, dc=de" and the organization name to reflect your local settings. For example, if you are using the mail domain "mycompany.com", then you might choose

dc=mycompany, dc=com

Import the file into your LDAP server by using the command

ldif2ldbm -i topics.ldif

(The above command will trash an existing LDAP database! Use ldapadd if you want to avoid this.)

Append the files slapd.at.conf.APPEND and slapd.oc.conf.APPEND to your /etc/openldap/slapd.at.conf and /etc/openldap/slapd.oc.conf and restart the OpenLDAP server.
