Setting up 389 Directory Server
This is the first part of a series where I will share how I set up my local LDAP server that I use in my homelab, mainly for security testing.
Hey there, I’m Lester. I work with server systems and spend probably too much time messing around in my homelab. This is where I dump the random stuff I learn, break, fix, and occasionally figure out. Mostly Linux, security, DevOps, and whatever else catches my attention. Hopefully something here is useful to you too!
