### Setting up an OpenLDAP server on Ubuntu for testing purpose
To setup an OpenLDAP server on Ubuntu (we will use slapd package here)
* *sudo apt-get update*
* *sudo apt-get install slapd ldap-utils*
You can then configure the LDAP server using the command below
* *sudo dpkg-reconfigure slapd*
To check the base DIT used by the LDAP server (to be specified in baseDN in local.php)
* *ldapsearch -H ldap:// -x -s base -b "" -LLL "namingContexts"*
The -H option is used to specify the address of LDAP server (ldap:// if the server is local)
The -x option to specify that an anonymous connection is used and -s to specify that we will search from the base
The attribute "namingContexts" is the attribute for the base entry of the DIT
To add an entry in the LDAP Server, first copy this into a file with .ldif extension (test.ldif for example):
```
## FIRST Level hierarchy - people
## uses mixed upper and lower case for objectclass
# this is an ENTRY sequence and is preceded by a BLANK line
dn: ou=people, dc=example,dc=com
ou: people
description: All people in organisation
objectclass: organizationalunit
## SECOND Level hierarchy
## ADD a single entry under FIRST (people) level
# this is an ENTRY sequence and is preceded by a BLANK line
# the ou: Human Resources is the department name
dn: cn=Robert Smith,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com
objectclass: inetOrgPerson
cn: Robert Smith
cn: Robert J Smith
cn: bob smith
sn: smith
uid: rjsmith
userpassword: rJsmitH
carlicense: HISCAR 123
homephone: 555-111-2222
mail: r.smith@example.com
mail: rsmith@example.com
mail: bob.smith@example.com
description: swell guy
ou: Human Resources
```
Then use the follow command to add the entry into the LDAP server :
*ldapmodify -H ldap:// -x -D "cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com" -w password -a -f /path/to/test.ldif*
The option -D is to specify the entry to authenticate with, optin -w let you specify the admin's password and -a is for specifying that the entry should be added instead of modified
To add a password to the created entry:
*ldappasswd -H ldap:// -x -D "cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com" -w password -S "uid==Robert Smith,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com"*
You can now create the user (without a password) on Monarc plateform with ldap connection enabled and the authentification should be successful.
