Manually Starting the OpenLDAP Service
Typically, the Server Suite OpenLDAP proxy service automatically starts when the computer restarts. You have the option to manually start Server Suite OpenLDAP proxy service.
The Server Suite OpenLDAP proxy service is a modified version of the standard slapd LDAP server process. The Server Suite version of the slapd process also uses a customized version of the standard LDAP server configuration file in the following location:
/etc/centrifydc/openldap/slapd.conf
This customized version of the slapd.conf configuration file is created
automatically when you join a domain and is configured by default with Access
Manager and domain-specific information. You can start or stop the slapd process
at any time by using the centrify-ldapproxy
script or directly from the command
line.
To start the Server Suite OpenLDAP proxy service directly from the command line using the default configuration file, you can run the following command:
/usr/share/centrifydc/libexec/slapd
or
/usr/share/centrifydc/bin/centrify-ldapproxy start
If you start the slapd process directly from the command line, you can also specify additional command line options just as you would for the standard slapd LDAP server process. For example, you can use the -f command line option to specify a different configuration file to use:
slapd -f /etc/centrifydc/openldap/slapd.conf
or
/usr/share/centrifydc/bin/centrify-ldapproxy start -f /
etc/centrifydc/openldap/slapd.conf
For more information about the command line options when starting the LDAP server directly from the command line, see the man page for the slapd process.
On the computer that is using systemctl, if the slapd process crashes, the systemd process will restart the slapd process.
