CouchLDAP

Experimental LDAP server implementation for libpam-ldapd and libnss-ldapd written with ldapjs and CouchDB.

Setup

This demo setup requires two servers, a master server and a slave server for a kehitys organisation, and one or more desktop clients for the slave server.

Master Server with PuavoCouch

Contains CouchDB master and PuavoCouch.

Install Node.js 0.6 and Apache CouchDB 1.2.

Get CouchLDAP repo and go to PuavoCouch subdirectory:

git clone git://github.com/opinsys/couchldap.git
cd couchldap/puavocouch/
npm install

Populate CouchMaster db with data:

npm run-script populate

Password for everybody is kala

Start PuavoCouch:

npm start

Slave Server with CouchLDAP

Contains CouchDB slave and CouchLDAP.

Install Node.js 0.6 and Apache CouchDB 1.2.

Get CouchLDAP repo

git clone git://github.com/opinsys/couchldap.git
cd couchldap
npm install

Create config.json

{
    "orgKey": "kehitys"
    , "couchMaster": "<master server ip>"
    , "couchLDAPPassword": "secret"
}

And start CouchLDAP

npm start

This will automatically replicate kehitys organisation data from the Master Server.
