HP OSMS Blueprint: Directory Services on HP ProLiant Servers with SLES10

mod_ldap and mod_authnz_ldap modules enabled, are routed through a load balancer to a

replica.

During a read operation, the replica returns the requested information. During a write operation,

the replica returns a reference to the master server. Replicas are kept up to date with the master

content using the LDAP Content Synchronization protocol through the syncrepl directive in

the replica’s configuration. An additional Windows-based server is required to host HP OVO

for manageability through the OpenLDAP SPI.

Installing and Configuring Symas CDS and Apache Modules

Pre-Installation

Before you start to install the HP Directory Services OSMS components, make sure the SLES10

distribution, with full packages, is installed. Apache HTTP server version 2.2.0 is a bundled

package in the SLES10 distribution. The mod_authnz_ldap and mod_ldap modules are included

in the Apache HTTP server package. To verify the modules are installed, see “Integrating the

Apache HTTP Server with the mod_authnz_ldap and mod_ldap Modules” (page 19). To obtain

the Symas CDS Gold Edition products and additional instructions, see the website located at:

http://www.symas.com/cds.shtml

Verify that you obtained the correct version of the installation packages according to your

architecture, as shown in Table 1.

Installing CDS

The CDS LDAP server can co-exist with OpenLDAP that is bundled with the SLES10 distribution.

If the CDS LDAP service is used, verify that all LDAP-related commands and daemons are

obtained from the CDS LDAP server installation and not the SLES10 distribution.
