H1: Building and Installing OpenLDAP Software
Slapd and Slurpd form the heart of OpenLDAP. Slapd is the actual LDAP server
and slurpd provides a data replication system. For the rest of this chapter
we'll just refer to Slapd and Slurpd as OpenLDAP.
This chapter details how to build and install the OpenLDAP Software
package including {{slapd}}(8), the stand-alone LDAP daemon and
{{slurpd}}(8), the stand-alone update replication daemon.
Building and installing OpenLDAP requires several steps: installing
prerequisite software, configuring OpenLDAP itself, making, and finally

H2: Prerequisite software
In order to use the LDBM backend with OpenLDAP some extra software may
be needed.
OpenLDAP relies a number of software packages distributed by third
parties. Depending on the features you intend to use, you may have
to download and install a number of additional software packages.
This section details commonly needed third party software packages
you might have to install. Note that some of these third party
packages may depend on additional software packages. Install each
package per installation instructions provided with it.
In addition to the database software needed by the LDBM backend, you can
also install several other optional software packages that will add additional
features. See the appendix detailing all of the configuration options for
a complete list of options (and what extra software may be needed.)
H3: TLS Software
OpenLDAP clients and servers require installation of OpenSSL TLS
libraries to provide {{TERM[expand]TLS}} services. Though
some operating systems may provide these libraries as part of the
base system or as an optional software component, OpenSSL often
requires separate installation.
OpenSSL is available from {{URL: http://www.openssl.org/}}.
OpenLDAP will not be fully LDAPv3 compliant unless OpenLDAP's
configure detects a usable OpenSSL installation.
H3: Kerberos Software
OpenLDAP clients and servers support Kerberos based authentication
services. In particular, OpenLDAP supports SASL/GSSAPI based
authentication using either Heimdal or MIT Kerberos V packages.
If you desire to use Kerberos based authentication, you should
install either Heimdal or MIT Kerberos V.
Heimdal Kerberos is available from {{http://}}.
MIT Kerberos is available from {{http://}}.
H3: SASL Software
OpenLDAP clients and servers require installation of Cyrus SASL
libraries to provide {{TERM[expand]SASL}} services. Though
some operating sytems may provide this library as part of the
base system or as an optional software component, Cyrus SASL
often requires separate installation.
Cyrus SASL is available from {{URL:: }}. Cyrus SASL will
make use of Kerberos libraries if preinstalled.
OpenLDAP will not be fully LDAPv3 compliant unless OpenLDAP's
configure detects a usable Cyrus SASL installation.
H3: Database software
OpenLDAP's LDBM backend requires a database package to store its data in.
Your operating system may already have this software installed, or you
may need to obtain the software and install it yourself.
OpenLDAP's {{slapd}}(8) primary database backend, {{TERM:LDBM}},
requires that a compatible database package for entry storage. LDBM
is compatible with Sleepycat Software's BerkeleyDB (recommended)
or the Free Software Foundation's GNU Database Manager (GDBM).
If neither of these packages are available at configure time,
you will not be able build slapd(8) with primary database backend.
Ether the GNU Project's GDBM or Sleepycat Software's BerkeleyDB
package is recommended. Many UNIX like operating systems already
have one or both of these packages installed.
Your operating system may provide one of these two packages in
in base system or as an optional software component. You may
need may need to obtain the software and install it yourself.
GDBM is available from GNU's ftp {{URL: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gdbm}}
BerkeleyDB is available from Sleepycat's web site
{{URL: http://www.sleepycat.com/download.html}}. There are
several versions available. At the time of this writing,
version 3.1, the latest release, is recommended.
BerkeleyDB is available from Sleepycat's web site {{URL: http://www.sleepycat.com/download.html}}. There are several versions available. Version 3.1 is recommended since Sleepycat has indicated that older versions will not be supported
in the near future.
Follow the instructions included with the database package for building and
installing the software. Once the database software is installed proceed
to with Configuring OpenLDAP.
GDBM is available from GNU's ftp {{URL: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gdbm/}}
At the time of this writing, version 1.8 is the latest release.
H2: Configuring OpenLDAP
If you haven't already done so, untar the distribution and cd to the top:
If you haven't already done so, extra the distribution for the
compressed archive file and change directory to the top of the
distribution:

Replacing {{EX:VERSION}} with the appropriate version string.
Now you should probably run the {{EX:configure}} script with the
