LDAP(Lightweight Directory Access Protocol), port number 389. Its works like a windowsActve directory concepts. LDAP directory service is based on a client-server model. One or more LDAP
servers contain the data making up the LDAP directory tree or LDAP backend
database. An LDAP client connects to an LDAP server and asks it a question. The
server responds with the answer. In this document I have descirbes
The
overall goal is to have a server computer with the role of "domain
controller." My definition of domain controller is a server computer
with a central user database that client computers can authenticate
against. This guide will accomplish the following goals:
-
Central user authentication using an LDAP database
-
Central storage of users home directories using a combination of NFS and SAMBA
-
The creation of a SAMBA domain that Windows XP Professional SP2 computers can "join" and participate in
-
A DNS server that can be used on your network
Configure A Fully Qualified Domain Name
We need to change our hostname to be a
fully qualified domain name (FQDN). The safe way to do this is to add
it to the /etc/hosts file and then edit the /etc/hostname file to
reflect the change. Your FQDN if you follow this guide exactly will be dc01-ubuntu.example.local.
Once again I will post the command and my resulting file for your reference.
vim /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.1.1 dc01-ubuntu dc01-ubuntu.example.local
/etc/hostname
dc01-ubuntu.example.local
