Installing and Configuring OpenLDAP

This section of the howto describes two methods of creating an OpenLDAP instance for testing purposes.

Docker

If you’re looking to create a temporary instance of OpenLDAP and spin it up as quickly as possible, you should consider using the Docker containerisation service.

A pre-configured docker container allow you to create a self-contained OpenLDAP instance with a minimum amount of effort.

Packages

If you’re looking to create a more permanent installation of OpenLDAP or are not comfortable using docker, then you may wish to install OpenLDAP from packages.

OpenLDAP is available pre-packaged for many distributions. We recommend using the OpenLDAP LTB packages available under the "Packaging and OpenLDAP extensions" heading here.
