Its pretty straight forward to setup ldap on Ubuntu 15.04

  • Set your hostname and update /etc/hosts file
  • sudo apt-get install slapd ldap-utils
  • Execute ldapsearch -x -LLL -H ldap:/// -b dc=example,dc=com dn and you can find the admin account
  • Import your ldif using ldapadd -x -D cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com -W -f add_content.ldif

Done!!
