Setting up an OpenLDAP server on OS X for testing

Installing

OS X comes with an OpenLDAP server, otherwise apt-get etc. should help. If doing this on Linux or other non-OS X systems, you probably have to adapt some paths in slapd.conf.

Configuring OpenLDAP 

$ cat > /etc/openldap/slapd.conf
include         /private/etc/openldap/schema/core.schema
include         /private/etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema
include         /private/etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema

pidfile         /private/var/db/openldap/run/slapd.pid
argsfile        /private/var/db/openldap/run/slapd.args

database        bdb
suffix          "dc=openproject,dc=org"
rootdn          "cn=Manager,dc=openproject,dc=org"
# password is 'root'
rootpw          {SSHA}ih08rDcGRC+S5ol888SZG5YUjOX1oVVK
# The database directory MUST exist prior to running slapd AND
# should only be accessible by the slapd and slap tools.
# Mode 700 recommended.
directory       /private/var/db/openldap/openldap-data
# Indices to maintain
index   objectClass     eq

Loading sample data 

$ cat > sample.ldif
version: 1
dn: dc=openproject,dc=org
objectClass: top
objectClass: dcObject
objectClass: organization
dc: openproject
o: Some Org
description: A sample domain

dn: ou=people,dc=openproject,dc=org
objectClass: top
objectClass: organizationalUnit
ou: people

dn: cn=John Smith,ou=people,dc=openproject,dc=org
objectClass: inetOrgPerson

sn: Smith
givenname: John
uid: jsmith
# the userpassword is set to the SHA1 of 'root'
userPassword: {SSHA}ih08rDcGRC+S5ol888SZG5YUjOX1oVVK
mail: jsmith@openproject.org
description: This is John

dn: cn=Susan Adams,ou=people,dc=openproject,dc=org
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
cn: Susan Adams
sn: Adams
givenname: Susan
uid: sadams
# the userpassword is set to the SHA1 of 'root'
userPassword: {SSHA}ih08rDcGRC+S5ol888SZG5YUjOX1oVVK
mail: sadams@openproject.org
description: This is Sue

Add sample data

ldapadd -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=openproject,dc=org" -f sample.ldif -w root

In case you want to change the users in the LDAP, you can delete e.g. Susan with the following command:

ldapdelete -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=openproject,dc=org" -w root 'cn=Susan Adams,ou=people,dc=openproject,dc=org'

Then use ldapadd again, but comment out all entries still in the directory.

Running the OpenLDAP server 

$ sudo /usr/libexec/slapd -d 127

Configuring OpenProject

    • Account: cn=Manager,dc=openproject,dc=org
    • Password: root
    • Base DN: ou=people,dc=openproject,dc=org
