These are some notes on installing CSS on my personal notebook running 32-bit Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. From what I noticed installing on other distros of Linux should not be very different, but the directory name may vary.


Installing MySQL

Installing LDAP

I followed the instruction from the various web sites, mainly from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8161118 and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1054966. I set the LDAP password directly modifying /etc/ldap/slapd.d/cn=config/olcDatabase={0}config.ldif file setting olcRootPW: key. I had a hard time figuring out how to change the LDAP password or access config database without password.

  • Install LDAP server
    sudo apt-get install slapd ldap-utils
  • Run the following command to add all the LDAP schemas in the slapd package to your cn=config (by default only core is added):
    ls /etc/ldap/schema/*.ldif | xargs -I {} sudo ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f {}
  • As an example create a database the LDAP server. Note that Karmic uses the EXTERNAL SASL binding to communicate with the LDAP server. There is no admin user or password here:
    sudo ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f db.ldif
  • Add people to database we just created. Since we have created our own access control lists for the dc=home,dc=local database, we must change the binding method (i.e. auth with the admin user and password). Add the data for the directory via the following command:
    sudo ldapadd -x -D cn=admin,dc=home,dc=local -w admin -f people.ldif
  • Check to see if you can read the database:
    ldapsearch -x -b dc=home,dc=local


Installing GlassFish

  • Follow the instructions from http://www.nabisoft.com/tutorials/glassfish/installing-glassfish-301-on-ubuntu to download install GlassFish on Ubuntu.
  • I skipped the part on security part dealing with iptables, probably it can be configured later. You will be able to start (and stop) GlassFish using
    /home/glassfish/bin/asadmin start-domain domain1
  • I also did not uninstall openjdk, although I did have sun-java6 as well.
