<header>LDAP Access Control</header>
By default, an LDAP server allows any client that can connect to read all
objects and attributes in the database. However, only the administrative user
can perform updates. This may not be ideal for networks that have users with
different levels of trust though, so OpenLDAP allows you to grant varying
access levels to different users on different parts of the database. <p>
This page lists all access controls rules currently defined, if any. To create a
new one, click the <b>Add a new access control rule</b> link. To remove several
rules at once, check the boxes next to them and hit the <b>Delete Selected
Rules</b> button. To change the ordering of rules, use the up and down arrows
on the right-hand side of the table. <p>
As with most other LDAP server configuration changes, access control rules will
not take effect until the <b>Apply Configuration</b> button is clicked on the
module's main page. <p>

<header>LDAP Server</header>
This module allows you to configure the OpenLDAP directory server, and manage
objects in its database. Assuming that you have the LDAP server installed on
the same system as Webmin, the main page will show icons for editing the
server configuration and managing the database. If the module is configured to
talk to a remote LDAP server, it will instead only show icons for accessing
the database. <p>
You can control whether it uses a local or remote server by clicking on the
<b>Module Config</b> link. Only when managing a local server will pages
be available to edit configuration files and stop, start and restart the
OpenLDAP server process. <p>
If you are looking for a way to manage Unix users and groups in your LDAP
database, try the <b>LDAP Users and Groups</b> module under the Webmin
<b>System</b> category instead. To configure a system to fetch users and groups
from a local or remote LDAP server, use the <b>LDAP Client</b> module, also
under the <b>System</b> category. <p>

<header>Manage Schema</header>
The LDAP schema determines which object classes and attributes can be stored in
your LDAP database. This page allows you to select which schema types are
supported by your server, using the checkbox next to each schema file name.
Once you have made changes, click <b>Save</b> to update the OpenLDAP
configuration file, then <b>Apply Configuration</b> on the main page to
activate them. <p>
Be careful de-selecting existing schema files though, as this may break your
LDAP server if objects already exist in the database using the attributes
defined in those files. The <b>core</b> schema which contains the most basic
LDAP classes cannot be de-selected. <p>
The ordering of schemas is important, as later schemas can only refer to
attributes defined previously. You can re-order the list using the up and down
arrows on this page, but again this should be done with care for existing
schemas in order to avoid breaking the LDAP database. <p>
To see what classes and attributes a schema defines, click on it's <b>View</b>
link. If you are familiar with the schema format and want to edit a file,
click <b>Edit</b> instead. <p>

<header>OpenLDAP Server Configuration</header>
This page allows you to configure global settings for your OpenLDAP server,
such as the root DN for the database, administration login, cache sizes
and SSL certificates. The most commonly changed fields are :
<dl>
<dt><b>Root DN for LDAP database</b>
<dd>This field is for entering the DN (distinguished name) under which all
objects in your LDAP database must be stored. Typically it should be changed
to something matching your company or organization's name, like
<i>dc=yourcompany,dc=com</i>. But you are free to enter anything as long
as it is correctly formatted. <p>
<dt><b>Administration login DN</b>
<dd>This is effectively the <tt>root</tt> user for your LDAP database. It should
be a DN under your root set in the above field, like
<i>cn=Manager,dc=yourcompany,dc=com</i>. <p>
<dt><b>Administration password</b>
<dd>This field shows the current password (possibly encrypted), and an option
to enter a new one. If you change the password, the module will use it
automatically when connecting to the database to make changes. <p>
</dl>
Any changes made on this page will not take effect until the <b>Apply
Configuration</b> button is clicked on the module's main page. <p>
If you want your LDAP server to accept TLS encrypted connections, you must first
generate an SSL certificate and public key. This can be mostly automated by
clicking the <b>Generate SSL Certificate</b> button at the bottom of the page.
