Hi Shamika, as I read on some community pages, since Ubuntu 9.10 the process of the dpkg scripts has been changed to the basics. I don't know why this has been done, but that's a matter of fact. So you have to do some more basic settings on your own via ldif files and ldapadd commands.
You may take a look at this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/openldap-server.html That guide is still applicable onto newer versions of ubuntu, it even works on a sles11 host. good look and have fun. benjamin On Tue, Mar 30, 2010 at 11:04, Shamika Joshi <[email protected]>wrote: > I have followed following article to install/configure OpenLDAP on Ubuntu > Server 9.10 > https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/openldap-server.html > > There is no slapd.conf in picture here instead running "dpkg-reconfigure > slapd" should come up with following Wizard (got this after running through > numerous articles on this) > > *Wizard steps:* > > 1. *omit openldap server configuration? – no* > 2. *dns domain name? vm.example.org* > 3. *organization name? myCompany* > 4. *database backend to use? hdb* > 5. *do you want the database to be removed when slapd is purged? yes* > 6. *may be the question: move old database? yes* > 7. *administrator password? the same one as entered during installation > * > 8. *confirm password? see last step* > 9. *allow LDAPv2 protocol? no* > > However in my installation wizards asks > * > Omit OpenLDAP server configuration?
