How to create LDAP users?
Firstly, you need to kow that an LDAP user is created from the user interface phpldapmy admin. This
interface is accessible when you have fully deployed the OpenLDAP application, so if you have not done
so already , I invite you to deploy OpenLDAP from our platform. After deploying the application you can
easily create LDAP users . Carefully follow the steps of this tutorial.
Step 1 of 3 : Go to the console interface to access the url
of
your phpldapmyadmin page.
When you have deployed the OpenLDAP application, parameters have been assigned to you among other
URL. It is this url that will direct you to the phpldapmyadmin interface on which you will create LDAP users.
Go to https://www.acesyonline.com
,you will be directed to the next homepage
below :
1. From the
homepage of the website, click on the button 
shown on the figure below:
2. On the left side of the menu, click on the section My products and Services.
3. Choose Apps from the drop-down menu that comes to you.
4. On
the page that appears, search OpenLDAP and make a ckick on the button More 
.
5. Scroll
down the page to see this connection setting in the section Default Configuration parameters.
6. On the page above, click on the link next to the url and you will see the homepage to phpldapmyadmin
as shown below :
Step 2 of 3 : Log on phpldapadmin.
1.
On
the page above, cick on 
and fill the form below :
2. The boxes Login DN and Password are filled in with information from the console (section Default
configuration parameters) as shown below:
Fill the form above with information that was provided to you in the Configuration Parameters section
after the application was deployed: The login DN of the form above is constructed as follow : cn=LDAP Admin
user (its value) and ,dc= and the URL provided in the Configuration Parameters ( delete the https:// and
replace all the points of the URL by ,dc= ).
Exemple: For audreyopenldap.acesy.nl we obtain cn=admin,dc=audrey-openldap,dc=acesy,dc=nl and
LDAP_ADMIN_PASSWORD in the section Configuration Parameters corresponds to the box Password
of the form above. Then click on Authenticate.
You wil see the phpldapmyadmin home interface in a connceted mode as seen
below :
Step 3 of 3 : Create Users
o Creation of organizational units
In phpLDAPadmin, click to expand the list of your server ( in my example, dc =audrey-openldap ,
dc = acesy , dc =nl),then click Create New Entry Here.
Dans le volet de droite, sélectionnez Generic:Organizational Unit.
Let's start by creating an organizational unit called "groups". In the next window, type groups and click
create Object. Commit the group by clicking Commit in the next window.
You will see a new entry in the left pane called ou = groups.
Let’s create a new organizational unit called "users". Follow the same process as above, but name
the organizatinal "users" instead of "groups". You will see "ou = groups" and "ou = users" in the left pane.
o Group creation
Now that we have created an organizational u it for goups, we cana dd the necessary groups . For example
we create groups for "admin" and "developers" and "users". We proceed as shown below :
