This module allows you to configure the OpenLDAP directory server, and manage objects in its database. Assuming that you have the LDAP server installed on the same system as Webmin, the main page will show icons for editing the server configuration and managing the database. If the module is configured to talk to a remote LDAP server, it will instead only show icons for accessing the database.

You can control whether it uses a local or remote server by clicking on the Module Config link. Only when managing a local server will pages be available to edit configuration files and stop, start and restart the OpenLDAP server process.

If you are looking for a way to manage Unix users and groups in your LDAP database, try the LDAP Users and Groups module under the Webmin System category instead. To configure a system to fetch users and groups from a local or remote LDAP server, use the LDAP Client module, also under the System category.
