Standing up a Phpldapadmin instance without Docker  

XAMPP 7.3 comes with PHP 7.2 - the versions are aligned - so for some code that only works in php 7.2 - use XAMPP 7.2

This article is for PHP 7.3.6

Phpldapadmin is an excellent front end to openldap.  In the rare case where you do not have access to either a kubernetes cluster or raw docker on a VM/BM instance - try running PhpLdapAdmin natively on a php+apache stack.

I have a lot of new found respect for the PHP stack - the turnaround time on editing the code or php library itself lends itself to very fast development. 

Installation - PHP + Apache2

with docker

without docker

XAMPP Installation

Run the executable as administrator

deselect everything except apache and php

choose the default folder c:/xampp

Triage/Fixing of PHP and PhpLDAPAdmin version issues

see changes in 

https://github.com/obrienlabs/phpldapadmin-for-xampp or https://github.com/obrienlabs/phpldapadmin-for-xampp/archive/master.zip

There are issues with the older version of PhpLDAPAdmin running on certain newer versions of the LAMPP stack - that could be solved quickly by targeting a specific version of php in the docker container image - we don't have access to docker in this case.

DI: 20190709: expose member or isMemberOf attributes on OneToMany group membership

Need a way to view group membership via 3rd party ldap client.

Oracle Unified Directory

I have a client that is migrating from on-premises to the cloud - part of the work is retrofitting existing non-cloud tech as part of the migration.  One of the modules is an LDAP server that will not be containerized.  There is an additional issue where we need non-root admin users with CRUD capability - ideally in a reduced admin web based environment.  

Normally I use docker containers on ubuntu or OSX under an orchestration framework like Kubernetes - this particular OUD is on windows - there is a port to docker though I will look at - https://github.com/oehrlis/docker-oud

Oracle Unified Directory 12cPS3 (12.2.1.3.0)

The OUD and OUDSM can be installed on a standard Windows 10 Pro VM on VMware for developer productivity.

There is a 2 min default timeout on the oudsm war - even though the timeout it set to 3600 sec - change it to 7200 to kick in the change - click ok on new plan and redeploy.

Alternative/Legacy LDAP clients


I would recommend you try to use helm charts, kubernetes or even bare docker.  However in some cases legacy applications will not have access to VMs or a docker orchestration system - you will need to supply a web based interface old-school via a deployed war or other distribution like 90's PHP in some cases.  Here I will detail how to get these alternative clients running.

ldapadmin.exe

Connecting ldapadmin to Oracle Unified Directory - bypassing Oracle Unified Directory Services Manager

There are use cases where non-root admin user gui access is required.  Currently the oudsm accepts connections to the gui app only from root users.  Ldapadmin.exe is one option to use non-root users for actions where CLI access is not available for ldapsearch/ldapmodify and dsconfig.
