OpenFiler local LDAP server setup

OpenFiler is a powerful open-source NAS/SAN system based on rPath Linux. You can use an old PC to load up OpenFiler to use as file server.

OpenFile uses LDAP/AD server for authentication only. For local users, you must setup a local LDAP for authentication.

- Click "Services" and then "LDAP Setup" on the right.
- Click "Clear LDAP" and then "Yes".
- Click "Rebuild LDAP".
- Click "Accounts"
- Check the box next to "Use LDAP"
- In the LDAP section set the following values:
- Local LDAP Server: Checked
- Use TLS: Unchecked
- Server: 127.0.0.1
- Base DN: "dc=openfiler,dc=local"
- Root bind DN: "cn=Manager,dc=openfiler,dc=local"
- Root bind password: "password"
- Login SMB server to root DN: Checked
- Allow user to change password: Checked
- Click "Submit" at the bottom of the page.
- Check the "Services" tab to see if the "LDAP Server" service is running (it should have started automatically)
- Click "Accounts" and then "Administration" and you should be able to start adding groups and users.
