H1: Building and Installing OpenLDAP Software
This chapter details how to build and install the {{ORG: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
installing. The following sections describe this process in detail.
In case you haven't already obtained OpenLDAP it is available at
the following location:
{{URL: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/pub/OpenLDAP/openldap-release.tgz}}.
The {{ORG[expand]OLP}} also maintains an extensive site
({{URL:http://www.OpenLDAP.org/}}) on the World Wide Web. The site
makes available a number of resources which you may utilize to
properly install OpenLDAP Software. This includes:
H2: Obtaining and Extracting the Software
You can obtain OpenLDAP Software from the project's download
page at {{URL: http://www.openldap.org/software/download/}} or
directly from the project's {{TERM:FTP}} service at
{{URL: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/pub/OpenLDAP/}}.
The project makes available two series of packages for {{general
use}}. The project makes {{releases}} as new features and bug
fixes come available. Though the project takes steps to improve
stablity of these releases, it is common for problems to arise
only after {{release}}. The latest {{release}} which has
demonstrated stability through general use.
Users of OpenLDAP Software can choose, depending on their desire
for the {{latest features}} versus {{demonstrated stability}},
the most appropriate series to install.
After downloading OpenLDAP Software, you need to extract the
distribution from the compressed archive file and change your
working directory to the top directory of the distribution:
.{{EX:gunzip -c openldap-VERSION.tgz | tar xf -}}
.{{EX:cd openldap-VERSION}}
You'll have to replace {{EX:VERSION}} with the version name of
the release.
You should now review the {{F:COPYRIGHT}}, {{F:LICENSE}},
{{F:README}} and {{F:INSTALL}} documents provided with the
distribution. The {{F:COPYRIGHT}} and {{F:LICENSE}} provide
information on acceptable use, copying, and limitation of warranty
of OpenLDAP software. The {{F:README}} and {{F:INSTALL}} documents
provide detailed information on prerequisite software and
installation procedures.

H3: TCP Wrappers
{{slapd}}(8) supports TCP wrappers (IP level access control filters)
if preinstalled. Use of TCP wrappers or other IP level access
if preinstalled. Use of TCP wrappers or other IP-level access
filters (such as those provided by an IP-level firewall) is recommended
for servers containing non-public information.
H2: Running configure
If you haven't already done so, extract the distribution from the
compressed archive file and change directory to the top of the
distribution:
.{{EX:gunzip -c openldap-VERSION.tgz | tar xf -}}
.{{EX:cd openldap-VERSION}}
You'll have to replace {{EX:VERSION}} with the version name of the
release.
Note: If you intend to build OpenLDAP for multiple platforms from a
single source tree you should consult the {{F: INSTALL}} file in the
top level distribution directory before running {{EX:configure}}.
Now you should probably run the {{EX:configure}} script with the
{{EX:--help}} option.
This will give you a list of options that you can change when building
OpenLDAP. Many of the features of OpenLDAP can be enabled or disabled
using this method. Please see the appendix for a more detailed list
of configure options, and their usage.

Now run the configure script with any desired configuration options or

> [[env] settings] ./configure [options]
As an example, let's assume that we want a copy of OpenLDAP configured
to use the LDBM backend and the shell backend. The LDBM backend
is turned on by default, so we don't need to do anything special
to enable it.
As an example, let's assume that we want install OpenLDAP with
LDBM backend and TCP wrapper support. By default, LDBM
is enabled and TCP wrappers is not. So, we just need to specify
{{EX:--with-wrappers}} to include TCP wrapper support:
Additionally, we've installed the BerkeleyDB database package.
{{EX:configure}} is smart enough to use BerkeleyDB automatically
if it can find it, but BerkeleyDB is installed by default in a
place {{EX:configure}} won't look at automatically. BerkeleyDB
is usually installed in {{F:/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.1}} (assuming
that version 3.1 is being used.)
> ./configure --with-wrappers
The following example shows how to run {{EX:configure}} and specify where to
find BerkeleyDB and turn on the DNS-SRV backend. The example should be
entered on a single line (it has been split onto separate lines for clarity.)
However, this will fail to locate dependent software not
installed in system directories. For example, if TCP Wrappers
headers and libraries are installed in {{F:/usr/local/include}}
and {{F:/usr/local/lib}} respectively, the {{EX:configure}}
script should be called as follows:
> env CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.1/include" \
> LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.1/lib" \
> ./configure --enable-dnssrv
> env CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" \
> ./configure --with-wrappers
Note: Some shells, such as those derived from the Bourne {{sh}}(1),
do not require use of the {{env}}(1) command. In some cases, environmental
variables have to be specified using alternative syntaxes.
For more information on backends see the chapter on configuration.
The {{EX:configure}} script will normally auto-detect appropriate settings.
If you have problems at this stage, consult any platform specific
hints and check your {{EX:configure}} options, if any.
