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
  • Abstract object classes

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?

ldap.conf

    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.

Networking Basics

Q. What is Network? Ans: A network is simply a collection of computers or other hardware devices that are connected together, either physically or logically, using special hardware and software, to allow them to exchange information and cooperate. Networking is the term that describes the processes involved in designing, implementing, upgrading, managing and otherwise working with networks and network technologies. Q. What are The Advantages (Benefits) and Disadvantages (Costs) of Networking? Ans: Most of the benefits of networking can be divided into two generic categories: connectivity and sharing. Networks allow computers, and hence their users, to be connected together. They also allow for the easy sharing of information and resources, and cooperation between the devices in other ways. Since modern business depends so much on the intelligent flow and management of information, this tells you a lot about why networking is so valuable. Here, in no particular o

Continuous Deployment - Jenkins , Capistrano And Docker.

How to integrate Capistrano with Docker for deployment? Lets start with small introduction about 'Capistrano' . Capistrano is a framework for building automated deployment scripts on remote node.Its an open source tool which is written in Ruby, but it can easily be used to deploy any language. Basically capistrano installed to and runs from your working computer. When you command Capistrano to do something on a server, it connects to the server via SSH and works there using shell commands. Lets see how the directory structure of capistrano looks like.If you are running capistrano first time ,you run below commands to initialise it,Which will create directory structure for you. $ mkdir capistrano/ $ cd capistrano/ $ cap install - mkdir -p config/deploy - create config/deploy.rb - create config/deploy/staging.rb - create config/deploy/production.rb - mkdir -p lib/capistrano/tasks - create Capfile - Capified To understand m
