LDAP

The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is used in RevSpace in most places where authentication is required.

  • IP: 10.42.42.9

• Software: slapd (openldap)
  • Config: /etc/ldap/slapd.conf
• Database: LDIF (for easy recovery/editing)
  • Location: /var/lib/ldap/data

• From ldap2 itself: # shelldap
• From anywhere in the space network: ldap2:636 (TLS)
