AIX LDAP

"As for installing... what's wrong with IBM Directory Server?" Is that free? Or does it cost money?

No, it is not free - but if you have an AIX, you might as well check if it had not be purchased as well.

If not - OpenLDAP should work. What AIX version do you have?

No, we are only looking for open-source ldaps.

I have version 5.3 and 6.1

I have never worked an LDAP. The link you provided, talks about setting up a schema etc..

I'm a newbie with ldap, are you an expert in ldap? Because I don't know where to start.

Thanks

Depends on your definition of an expert - had been dealing with them in one way or another for the last 8 years or so. :)

Ok - let me see if I can find you an easy to start from place. The bad news is that at least last time I needed it, there was not a ready to use bundle so I had to compile the openLDAP from source.

if you have two aix boxes, which one you will use as an LDAP server?

Well right now, I just want to setup it up alone one box which will be 5.3

But, will I in the future be able to add more servers?

This is the error I got:

# rpm -Uvh openldap-2.0.21-4.aix4.3.ppc.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
        db >= 3.3.11 is needed by openldap-2.0.21-4
        libdb.a(libdb-3.3.so.0) is needed by openldap-2.0.21-4
#

Have any idea what could cause this?

I found it, it was on the same site you provided. I will upgrade it.

Here is my updated output:

# rpm -Uvh db-3.3.11-4.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
db                          ##################################################
# rpm -Uvh openldap-2.0.21-4.aix4.3.ppc.rpm
openldap                    ##################################################
#

I have openldap installed. What is the next recommended step?

The day is over, I will be back on tomorrow.
