INSTALLATION

Dependencies

ppm is provided along with OpenLDAP sources. By default, it is available into contrib/slapd-modules.

  • make sure both OpenLDAP sources and ppm are available for building.
  • install cracklib development files if you want to test passwords against cracklib
  • install pandoc if you want to build the man page

Build

Enter contrib/slapd-modules/ppm directory

You can optionally customize some variables if you don't want the default ones:

  • prefix: prefix of the path where ppm is to be installed (defaults to /usr/local)
  • ldap_subdir: OpenLDAP specific subdirectory for modules and configurations (defaults to openldap )
  • moduledir: where the ppm module is to be deployed (defaults to $prefix/$libexecdir/$ldap_subdir)
  • etcdir: used to compose default sysconfdir location (defaults to $prefix/etc)
  • sysconfdir: where the ppm example policy is to be deployed (defaults to $prefix/$etcdir/$ldap_subdir)
  • LDAP_SRC: path to OpenLDAP source directory
  • Options in DEFS variable: CONFIG_FILE: (DEPRECATED) path to a ppm configuration file (see PPM_READ_FILE in ppm.h) note: ppm configuration now lies into pwdCheckModuleArg password policy attribute provided example file is only helpful as an example or for testing CRACKLIB: if defined, link against cracklib DEBUG: If defined, ppm logs its actions with syslog

To build ppm, simply run these commands: (based upon the default prefix /usr/local of OpenLDAP)

make clean
make
make test
make doc
make install

Here is an illustrative example showing how to overload some options:

make clean
make LDAP_SRC=../../.. prefix=/usr/local libdir=/usr/local/lib
make test LDAP_SRC=../../..
make doc prefix=/usr/local
make install prefix=/usr/local libdir=/usr/local/lib
