# ldapdock
**_a configurable container running LDAP_**

most important steps to run the daemon server, NOT neccesary steps will be marked with *

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
```

create a openLDAP root user password
```
> slappasswd
New password:
Re-enter new password:
{SSHA}hashpwd
```

### _setup default config database_

create a file setting up our default rootDN 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
we are done with our slapd root configuration and can begin creating new LDAP directories (.ldif files)
