My debian box is running LDAP server, slapd. It seems
working fine because I can query the server from
127.0.0.1/localhost address.
I dont have any 'ldap.conf' file in my box, but I do
have the slapd.conf. Later on, I try to open/browse
the LDAP database using LDAP browser from another
computer (Softerra LDAP Browser 2.2) but no matter how
many times I tried to, it always failed to connect.
In what way does it fail to connect? Any useful error messages? What
do the logs say on your ldap server?
Have you restricted access using something like /etc/hosts.deny ?
- Is this has anything to do with my missing
'ldap.conf'?
No. ldap.conf configures the client-side tools (like ldapsearch(1)).
- In debian, can I create it from a text file?
Create what? ldap.conf *is* a text file.
- Where I have to put it? /etc or /etc/ldap?
Debian expects to find it as /etc/ldap/ldap.conf on my
(testing/unstable) system and its in the libldap2 package. See
http://packages.debian.org/ and search for packages containing
ldap.conf for a full search of all packages from different Debian
versions. Of the packges you currently have installed dpkg -S
ldap.conf would do a similar search.
If you have the relevant package installed (dpkg -l libldap2) and
you still don't have an ldap.conf file, then you probably deleted it
at some point.
To get it back (as root):
touch /etc/ldap/ldap.conf
apt-get --reinstall install libldap2
choose yes, replace my version with the package version when prompted
(ldap.conf is a conffile, and actions such as deleting are preserved
across package upgrades)
