== OpenLDAP installation==

Note: we're going to install OpenLDAP on our server as [http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/config.html#Local%20Directory%20Service the local directory service], without replication, referrals or other advanced features.

Installing OpenLDAP on your Debian server is ridiculously simple. Just make sure your server is up-to-date (''sudo apt-get update'' followed by ''sudo apt-get upgrade''), and then install the two main components for your OpenLDAP server:
 sudo apt-get install slapd ldap-utils
The Debian configuration script will ask you for an administrator password. As always: generate a strong password!
