Instead, you download the file, unpack it, and run the executable.
There is no actual installation from this point on. Now you can move on to downloading and running the Apache Directory Studio. You can now test to ensure Java is installed with the command javac -version ( Figure 1 ).įigure 1: Testing to make sure Java has been installed.
Set the Java environment variables with the command sudo apt install oracle-java8-set-default Install Java by issuing the command sudo apt install oracle-java8-installer Update apt with the command sudo apt update To do this, follow these steps:Īdd the necessary repository with the command sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java To that end, you must first install the Java JDK8. The first thing you must know is that Apache Directory Studio is a graphical application written in Java. If you are using a different distribution, you will have to adjust accordingly. I will be demonstrating the installation of Apache Directory Studio on an instance of Ubuntu Linux 16.04.
I will assume you already have your OpenLDAP server up and running.
I will demonstrating how to connect Apache Directory Studio to an OpenLDAP server on a separate virtual machine. I am going to walk you through the process of installing Apache Directory Studio as well as how to connect it to a working LDAP instance. The project includes:Īpache Directory Server - an extensible and embeddable directory serverĪpache Mavibot - a Multi Version Concurrency Control (MVCC) BTreeĪpache Fortress - a standards-based Access Management SystemĪnd, of course, the Apache Directory Studio, which is a tool intended to be used with any LDAP platform. Īpache Directory Studio is part of the Apache Directory project that strives to increase LDAP awareness, comfort and adoption to bring forth what we call the Modern LDAP Renaissance. If that’s the case, what do you do? There’s one particular piece of software that does an outstanding job of managing multiple LDAP servers: Apache Directory Studio.
However, when you’re managing numerous LDAP servers, you don’t want to have to log in and out of various instances of that tool. Working with LDAP itself can be a bit tricky to that end, many opt to go the phpLDAPadmin route (which is an amazing tool for individual servers). If you happen to administer one or more OpenLDAP servers, you know that they can be a challenge to work with.
