What is "LDIF" ?.

The LDAP Interchange Format (LDIF) is a standard text file format for storing LDAP configuration information and directory contents. LDIF files are often used to import new data into your directory or make changes to existing data.

Name the object class types?.

  • Structural Object class
  • Auxiliary Object class

Why LDAP is called light weight?.

LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is a protocol for communications between LDAP servers and LDAP clients. LDAP servers store "directories" which are access by LDAP clients.LDAP is called lightweight because it is a smaller and easier protocol which was derived from the X.500 DAP

What is SLAPD?

SLAPD stands for Stand-Alone LDAP.Clients connect to the server over the LDAP protocol, usually using a network-based connection (though SLAPD provides a UNIX socket listener).

Which daemons are required for LDAP server?

slapd and slurpd

Tell me the name of three LDAP Client utilities or Applications

  • ldapsearch
  • ldapadd
  • ldapmodify

Define Schemas?

Schemas provide definitions of the different object classes and attribute types that OpenLDAP should support. Using these, OpenLDAP can determine what entries it is allowed to store, whether any given entry is valid, and how entries should optimally be stored.

How you will verify LDAP configuration file?

Use "slaptest" utility. slaptest -v -f /etc/ldap/slapd.conf

Which utility is used to Encrypt the password?

ldappasswd

Which configuration file is required for LDAP clients?

    Szia,



    I am shocked, that there is such article exist!! But I really think you did a great job highlighting some of the key Open LDAP interview Questions and answers in the entire space.

    There are many systems which are Unix-like in their architecture. Then why the distinctions between Unix and Unix-like systems have been the subject of heated legal battles, and the holders of the UNIX brand?

    Thank you very much and will look for more postings from you.

    Merci Beaucoup,
    Irene Hynes

How to create a re-usable MakeFile for build, push and deploy docker containers? and automate build using Jenkins pipeline.? Typing a long docker commands is always a pain.We can create a script to help us out. Bash can be used here, but using a Makefile for more convenient than script, as the syntax is easy to get started with. Clone below repo [ MakeFile_repo ] and go to the directory.  git clone git@github.com:Prashanth-Pullaikodi/Makefile_Docker_Build.git Repo contains below files and folders. 1. MakeFile: Contains make configuration to build, push and deploy containers. Inorder to run the make command you needs to have docker installed and docker hub account . 2.

Inorder have to use this file you needs to have Jenkins installed and configured with pipeline ,Git plugins. You can use Makefile without Jenkins as well . Makefile

SAN and NAS Interview questions

What is a SAN? SAN is short for Storage Area Network. It is a high-speed network of storage elements, similar in form and function to a LAN that establishes direct and indirect connections between multiple servers and multiple storage elements. The SAN is an extension of the server’s storage bus https://devops-geek.blogspot.com/2011/12/san-and-nas-interview-questions.html What does a SAN do? SANs create connectivity. SANs offer a method of attaching storage that improves data reliability, availability and performance SAN overcomes traditional network bottlenecks by connecting in three ways: Server-to-storage (direct attached storage) Server-to-server (network attached storage) Storage-to-storage (SAN Attached Storage) Name some of the SAN topologies and Explain each of them ? Point-to-point, arbitrated loop, and switched fabric topologies Point-to-Point  A point-to-point connection is the simplest topology. It is used when there are exactly two nodes and future

Infrastructure As Code - Terraform and AWS.

-
Build AWS infrastructure using Terraform Terraform is a tool for building, changing, and versioning infrastructure safely and efficiently. Terraform can manage existing and popular service providers as well as custom in-house solutions. Here i use "AWS" provider to build the infrastructure using terraform but Terraform can manage many providers, including multiple providers in a single configuration, check here for list of providers  https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/index.html  . If you don't have an AWS account, create one now. For the getting started guide, we'll only be using resources which qualify under the AWS free-tier, meaning it will be free.Make sure to select the free tier ami before building the infrastructure, which will be discussed later in this document. Terraform uses text files to describe infrastructure and to set variables. These text files are called Terraform configurations and end in .tf . Refer For more information about con
