Request for guidance on configuring LDAP proxy

[ayoub ait manssour <aitmanssourayoub [at] gmail.com>]

Hello,

I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to request your assistance with configuring an LDAP proxy using an Ubuntu machine.

I have attempted to set up the LDAP proxy by following the steps outlined in the documentation, but unfortunately, I have encountered some issues and have been unable to get it to work. I have tried the following steps:

Installed OpenLDAP and related packages on the Ubuntu machine using the command: sudo apt-get install slapd ldap-utils

Configured the /etc/ldap/slapd.conf file to include the necessary schema and modules, as well as the URI, suffix, and proxy settings.

Tested the configuration file using the command: sudo slaptest -f /etc/ldap/slapd.conf

Started the LDAP server using the command: sudo /etc/init.d/slapd start

Verified that the LDAP server is running using the command: sudo netstat -tap | grep ldap

Attempted to query the LDAP server using the command: ldapsearch -x -b "dc=example,dc=com" -H ldap://localhost

Unfortunately, I have been unable to successfully query the LDAP server using the ldapsearch command. I believe that I may have made an error in my configuration, but I am not sure where I went wrong.

I would appreciate your guidance on configuring the LDAP proxy. If possible, could you please provide me with detailed steps on how to set it up properly? I would be happy to provide any additional information or logs if needed.

Thank you for your assistance.

Best regards,
