1 INSTALLATION 2 ============ 3 4 Dependencies 5 ------------------ 6 ppm is provided along with OpenLDAP sources. By default, it is available into contrib/slapd-modules. 7 - make sure both OpenLDAP sources and ppm are available for building. 8 - install cracklib development files if you want to test passwords against cracklib 9 - install pandoc if you want to build the man page 10 11 12 Build 13 ----- 14 Enter contrib/slapd-modules/ppm directory 15 16 You can optionally customize some variables if you don't want the default ones: 17 - prefix: prefix of the path where ppm is to be installed (defaults to /usr/local) 18 - ldap_subdir: OpenLDAP specific subdirectory for modules and configurations (defaults to openldap ) 19 - moduledir: where the ppm module is to be deployed (defaults to $prefix/$libexecdir/$ldap_subdir) 20 - etcdir: used to compose default sysconfdir location (defaults to $prefix/etc) 21 - sysconfdir: where the ppm example policy is to be deployed (defaults to $prefix/$etcdir/$ldap_subdir) 22 - LDAP_SRC: path to OpenLDAP source directory 23 - Options in DEFS variable: 24 CONFIG_FILE: (DEPRECATED) path to a ppm configuration file (see PPM_READ_FILE in ppm.h) 25 note: ppm configuration now lies into pwdCheckModuleArg password policy attribute 26 provided example file is only helpful as an example or for testing 27 CRACKLIB: if defined, link against cracklib 28 DEBUG: If defined, ppm logs its actions with syslog 29 30 31 To build ppm, simply run these commands: 32 (based upon the default prefix /usr/local of OpenLDAP) 33 34 ``` 35 make clean 36 make 37 make test 38 make doc 39 make install 40 ``` 41 42 Here is an illustrative example showing how to overload some options: 43 44 ``` 45 make clean 46 make LDAP_SRC=../../.. prefix=/usr/local libdir=/usr/local/lib 47 make test LDAP_SRC=../../.. 48 make doc prefix=/usr/local 49 make install prefix=/usr/local libdir=/usr/local/lib 50 ``` 51 52
