LDAP and phpldapadmin

LDAP and Commands

I wanted to configure an openldap with phpldapadmin in CentOS 7. Earlier I used command line to create sub dcs for the ldap database and fed up with commands.On the other hand the GUI can be used to verify the commands which I have used to create/modify entries.

Commands I used:
To add entries
ldapadd -x -W -D "cn=youradmin,dc=yourdc" -f yourfile.ldif
To search components
apsearch -x 'uid=*' -b "dc=yourdomain"

phpldapadmin

It was very easy to install phpldapadmin by just adding the repo  'epel-release'

yum -y install epel-release

During the configuration, I has few minor issues due to firewall settings and SELinux but those were able to fix referring early experiences.

I suggest you to read the following reference to begin with the php LDAP administrator GUI.

Reference:

This reference is also very valuable but still I did not completely followed.
