Configuring Multiple DIT in a Single server

Let's say if we have one domain called fireblade.com and we need to configure fireblade.net in the same server please follow the following steps.

Note: fireblade.com domain already exist and we are configuring the fireblade.net domian in addition and adding a OU called people OU.
My LDAP server's hostname is

master-ldap1.fireblade.com - 192.168.56.22

Open the configuration file and define the second domain

# vim /etc/openldap/slapd.conf 

add the below lines.

database       bdb
suffix         dc=fireblade,dc=net"
rootdn         "cn=Manager,dc=fireblade,dc=net"
rootpw         redhat

directory       /var/lib/ldap/firenix-net

index objectClass                       eq,pres
index ou,cn,mail,surname,givenname      eq,pres,sub
index uidNumber,gidNumber,loginShell    eq,pres
index uid,memberUid                     eq,pres,sub
index nisMapName,nisMapEntry            eq,pres,sub

Save and restart LDAP

# /etc/init.d/ldap restart

Create ldif called test.ldif

1. vim test.ldif

dn: dc=fireblade,dc=net
dc: fireblade
description: Example Network Operations
objectClass: dcObject
objectClass: organization
o: Firenix, Inc.

dn: ou=people, dc=fireblade,dc=net
ou: people
description: All people in organisation
objectClass: organizationalUnit

Add the ldif to the DATABASE

#  ldapadd -D "cn=Manager,dc=fireblade,dc=net" -W -x -f test.ldif

Now the server contains two domains fireblade.com and fireblade.net



Enjoy !!!
