To set up an LDAP service, you can follow these steps:

  1. Install OpenLDAP server and phpLDAPadmin. You can install them on Ubuntu using the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install slapd phpldapadmin
  1. During the installation process, you will be prompted to set up an LDAP administrator password and LDAP domain. Make sure to remember this information as you will need it later on.
  2. Configure the OpenLDAP server by editing the /etc/ldap/ldap.conf file. Modify the following configuration settings:
BASE    dc=example,dc=com
URI     ldap://localhost

Replace dc=example,dc=com with your LDAP domain.

  1. Start the OpenLDAP server:
sudo systemctl start slapd
  1. the configuration file at /etc/phpldapadmin/config.php
$servers->setValue('server','host','localhost');
$servers->setValue('server','base','dc=example,dc=com');

Replace dc=example,dc=com with your LDAP domain.

  1. Start phpLDAPadmin.
sudo systemctl start apache2
  1. Visit http://localhost/phpldapadmin and login using the LDAP administrator password that was set previously.

You have now successfully set up the LDAP service and can use phpLDAPadmin to manage LDAP data.

If you want to manage LDAP data using Python, you can use the ldap3 library. You can install this library in Python using the following command:

pip install ldap3

You can then use the following code to connect and interact with the LDAP server:

from ldap3 import Server, Connection, ALL

# 连接到LDAP服务器
server = Server('localhost', get_info=ALL)
conn = Connection(server, 'cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com', 'admin_password')

# 进行绑定
conn.bind()

# 在LDAP服务器上执行操作，例如搜索、添加、修改和删除条目
# 搜索示例
conn.search('dc=example,dc=com', '(objectclass=person)')

# 添加示例
conn.add('cn=John Doe,dc=example,dc=com', ['person'], {'cn': 'John Doe', 'sn': 'Doe'})

# 修改示例
conn.modify('cn=John Doe,dc=example,dc=com', {'sn': [('REPLACE', ['Smith'])]})

# 删除示例
conn.delete('cn=John Doe,dc=example,dc=com')

# 断开连接
conn.unbind()

Please make sure to replace localhost, dc=example,dc=com, cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com, and admin_password in the above examples with your LDAP server and admin credentials.

I hope the above information is helpful to you!
