phpLDAPadmin with OpenDJ 2.4.5

Looks like phpLDAPadmin works with OpenDJ out of the box. All I needed to change to get started was to replace port 389 with 1389. (I installed OpenDJ as my normal user.)

The following instructions worked for me on Ubuntu 12.04.

Install phpLDAPadmin.
Ubuntu for example has a phpldapadmin package.
```
$ sudo apt-get install phpldapadmin
```
Install Java.
Ubuntu has an openjdk-6-jre package.
```
$ sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre
```

Install OpenDJ. Here’s how to start with 2.4.5 for example.

$ cd Downloads/
$ wget http://download.forgerock.org/downloads/opendj/2.4.5/OpenDJ-2.4.5.zip
$ cd /path/to/
$ unzip ~/Downloads/OpenDJ-2.4.5.zip
$ ./OpenDJ-2.4.5/setup

Edit the configuration if necessary.
```
$ sudo vi /etc/phpldapadmin/config.php
```
For example, if OpenDJ listens on port 1389, change the server port setting to:
```
$servers->setValue('server','port',1389);
```
You can make a number of other changes in the configuration file. For details, see http://phpldapadmin.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Config.php
Open phpLDAPadmin, login, and start to manage OpenDJ.

Here is a howto installing phpLDAPadmin in a EC2 Amazon Linux AMI instance (CentOS).

# from a clean image, update and install the following packages.
sudo yum -y update
sudo yum -y install httpd
sudo yum -y install php
sudo yum -y install php-ldap
sudo yum -y –enablerepo=epel install phpldapadmin
sudo /sbin/chkconfig httpd on

Update the phpldapadmin.conf and set the access level you prefer
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpldapadmin.conf

# Order Deny,Allow
# Deny from all
# Allow from 127.0.0.1
# Allow from ::1
Allow from all

# Update the default phpLDAPadmin port to match the default OpenDJ port
sudo nano /usr/share/phpldapadmin/config/config.php

# Change the following line, where the default port is defined to the default OpenDJ port (search in nano by using ctrl-w).
// $servers->setValue(‘server’,'port’,389);
To
$servers->setValue(‘server’,'port’,1389);

#
# Also change how user should authenticate themselves to phpLDAPadmin
#
Comment the following line:
$servers->setValue(‘login’,'attr’,'dn’);
to
// $servers->setValue(‘login’,'attr’,'dn’);

# Restart the apache httpd deamon
sudo service httpd restart

Assuming OpenDJ is default installed as described above.
