How to Pre-Configure a Newly Installed System to be an OpenLDAP Server

Language:

Perform this procedure if you are running the ldapservercfg utility on a newly installed Oracle Solaris system.

Make sure the service/network/ldap/openldap package is installed.
Note - The OpenLDAP server package, service/network/ldap/openldap, must be installed on the same Oracle Solaris server where you will execute the ldapservercfg utility.
```
$ pkg list service/network/ldap/openldap
```
If the service/network/ldap/openldap package is not installed, use the following command:
```
# pkg install service/network/ldap/openldap
```
Check whether the Domain Name System (DNS) service is working correctly.
Use the following command to verify that the server’s Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) is available:
```
$ host hostname
```
Verify that the hostname resolves to its FQDN name in DNS:
```
# uname -n
server.example.com
# host server
server.example.com has address 192.0.2.0
```
