LDAP Setup 10.04 LTS

**th3 mant1s** · May 20th, 2010

Hi Everyone,

I've been working though thishttp://www.opinsys.fi/setting-up-ope...u-10-04-alpha2 tutorial trying to get openldap working.

When I get to the point where i'm setting up the client. More specifically when I do ldapaddgroup testgroup I am sent this error

"You must have OpenLDAP client commands installed before running these scripts"

I have installed the ldapscripts package along with all the required ones. Has anyone been through this, I imagine it's some little nuance that I am missing.

Thanks!

Hi mantis,

We changed the existing runtime.debian to also include the variable declarations. After this we can use the ldapscripts again.

good luck

/usr/share/ldapscripts/runtime.debian

Code:

I ran into the same problem following the Ubuntu LDAP guide in server configuration for 10.04 ( https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/server...ap-server.html ).

bluelightav, I don't actually understand the answer you just gave. Can you explain that a little more please?

After looking at this message again, I understand what you meant. You were saying that we should replace /usr/share/ldapscripts/runtime.debian with the one you posted. This fixed the problem for me.
