I recently installed version openldap-2.4.23 on one of our Degreeworks servers as root. During the ./configure piece, I had to disable slapd because it complained about a BDB database. Every installation step after the configure piece, completed without a problem. I am uncertain how openldap is being utilized by the Degreeworks software but I think something may be wrong with the setup or configuration files. Did slapd need to be installed and what do I do about the BDB issue. I am trying to get single sign-on via Luminis to Degreeworks. The logins for luminis and degreeworks are not the same. Any help would be appreciated on setting up openldap to work properly with Degreeworks.
Thanks in advance for your time.

Berkeley DB is software from Oracle (formerly Sleepycat) that is used for creating and storing LDAP databases in OpenLDAP with the back-bdb and back-hdb backends. You probably need to download and build BDB before you build OpenLDAP.

What was the exact error message?

Did you then used ./configure --disable-slapd ? If yes, you only built the OpenLDAP client libs and tools. Is this what you want?

Hmm, I don't have a clue what you want to achieve. Do you need a LDAP server? I don't know Degreeworks at all.
Ciao, Michael.
I downloaded and unzipped openldap-stable-20100719.tgz which is openldap-2.4.23. When I ran ./configure, it ran for a few minutes and stopped with "configure: error: BDB/HDB: BerkeleyDB not available". I then ran ./configure --disable slapd to complete the process.
Honestly, I am not sure what pieces of openldap is needed by Degreeworks. The documentation for Degreeworks just shows that Openldap is required. I am trying to create single sign-on for Degreeworks via our Luminis portal. Our Luminis login is different from our Degreeworks login. There are settings within Degreeworks for LDAP in order to match the Luminis login to the Degreeworks login but it does not appear to be making the match because it's trying to use the luminis credentials to login to Degreeworks.
Thanks

This sound like you need a running OpenLDAP server. On which OS platform are you trying to build OpenLDAP?
Ciao, Michael.
We have Red Hat Linux 5.6.

RHEL ships with a copy of OpenLDAP, which is installable via the platform's software management tools (e.g. 'yum install openldap-servers' would pull in most pieces).
You seem to not know what you need OpenLDAP for, so at this stage, I don't think it can be determined whether or not the copy of OpenLDAP shipped with RHEL is suitable or not. Maybe you should spend some time finding out what exactly you need OpenLDAP for?
Of course, it is unlikely that many people on this OpenLDAP mailing list know what Degreeworks or Luminis are, so if you post further questions regarding these pieces of software, you may want to provide more context.
