+# ldapdock
+*_a configurable container running openLDAP_*
+
+A step by step approach on how to setup and run the openLDAP server on a classic systemd-less Docker image container, **optional steps are marked with __*__**
+
+### _Creating the ldapdock container_
+
+build ldapdock
+```
+> docker build -t ldapdock /path/to/dockerfile
+```
+
+__*__ after build, check the docker image has been created properly with the given REPOSITORY name
+```
+> docker images
+REPOSITORY    TAG       IMAGE ID       CREATED       SIZE
+ldapdock      latest    0e4a1521b346   6 hours ago   138MB
+```
+
+run into the container setting up the LDAP server and the hostname 
+```
+> docker run -h example.com -i -t ldapdock /bin/bash
+```
+
+### _Inside the ldapdock image_
+
+start the openLDAP daemon server
+```
+> service slapd start
+ * Starting OpenLDAP slapd                        [ OK ]
+```
+
+__*__ edit base configuration of openLDAP server 
+```
+> vim /etc/ldap/ldap.conf
+```
+
+__*__ check basic LDAP schemas are loaded
+```
+# ldapsearch -Q -LLL -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -b cn=schema,cn=config dn
+dn: cn=schema,cn=config
+
+dn: cn={0}core,cn=schema,cn=config
+
+dn: cn={1}cosine,cn=schema,cn=config
+
+dn: cn={2}nis,cn=schema,cn=config
+
+dn: cn={3}inetorgperson,cn=schema,cn=config
+```
+__*__ load basic LDAP schemas in case the base config didn't
+```
+# ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /etc/ldap/schema/core.ldif
+SASL/EXTERNAL authentication started
+SASL username: gidNumber=0+uidNumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth
+SASL SSF: 0
+adding new entry "cn=core,cn=schema,cn=config"
+```
+
+create a **password** for openLDAP root user
+```
+> slappasswd
+New password:
+Re-enter new password:
+{SSHA}hashpwd
+```
+
+__*__ checkout the root DN configuration, the oldRootDN that we will setup later 
+```
+> ldapsearch -Q -LLL -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -b cn=config "(olcRootDN=*)" olcRootDN
+dn: olcDatabase={0}config,cn=config
+olcRootDN: cn=admin,cn=config
+
+dn: olcDatabase={1}mdb,cn=config
+olcRootDN: cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com
+```
+
+### _Base administrative Tasks for openLDAP_
+
+create a file setting up our default root DN and our *hostname* **(change *dc=example,dc=com* as needed)**
+```
+> vim change_root.ldif
+dn: olcDatabase={1}mdb,cn=config
+changetype: modify
+replace: olcRootDN
+olcRootDN: cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com
+```
+now save this changes in the main database
+```
+> ldapmodify -Q -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f change_root.ldif
+```
+
+create a file setting up our default rootPW **(change *{SSHA}hashpwd* with our previous *password*)**
+```
+> vim change_password.ldif
+dn: olcDatabase={1}mdb,cn=config
+changetype: modify
+replace: olcRootPW
+olcRootPW: {SSHA}hashpwd
+```
+now apply our new password for the main database
+```
+> ldapmodify -Q -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f change_password.ldif
+modifying entry "olcDatabase={1}mdb,cn=config"
+```
+we are done with our openLDAP root configuration and can begin creating new LDAP directories (.ldif files)
