  • Using Horde with a New LDAP Directory

Written by Ben Chavet (ben [at] horde [dot] org)

[[toc]]


This document is intended to help administrators set up a new Horde 3 installation using a new LDAP directory. Installing and configuring an LDAP directory is outside the scope of this document. It is assumed that you have a working LDAP directory, and that we will be adding a new branch to it. Please feel free to fill in any gaps or to clarify any existing information presented here.

For starters, this will be a running progress of what I am doing to set up a working Horde installation using LDAP.


++ Document Standards

We will be using the following standards and assumptions throughout this document. Please adjust accordingly to your situation.

  • LDAP directory security accounts are stored in {{ou=DSA,dc=example,dc=com}}, which already exists.

  • The LDAP directory does not allow anonymous binding.

  • The LDAP administrative account is {{cn=root,dc=example,dc=com}}.

  • OpenLDAP 2.1.29-1 running on a Fedora Core 2 machine is used for this example.
