LDAP kdb+ library installation

Download

Download the latest release from our releases page

Installation

Linux

Prior to using this interface, the OpenLdap library package should be installed (e.g. RedHat releases may include OpenLdap package by default), which includes libldap.so. The latest OpenLdap can also be built and installed from source, by obtaining the latest release from here.

To install this kdb+ LDAP library and scripts, either

  • run the provided install.sh

or

  • copy kdbldap.so which was built or downloaded earlier to your kdb+ folder. If on a Linux 64-bit machine with kdb+ installed in /usr/local/q, place the shared library into /usr/local/q/l64/.
  • the q script to load the ldap API (ldap.q) can be placed in the current working directory or within the kdb+ install directory.

Windows

You can build OpenLdap from source, or use a package manager, such as pacman, provided with msys64. Move the OpenLdap libs from your install (e.g. if using mssys and pacman, these libs may be found in the mingw64\bin directory) to the kdb+ w64 directory. The OpenLdap libs required are:

  • libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll
  • liblber.dll
  • libldap.dll
  • libsasl2-3.dll
  • libssl-1_1-x64.dll

To install the library and scripts interface that this repo provides, either

  • run the provided install.bat

or

  • copy kdbldap.dll which was built or downloaded earlier, to your kdb+ install binary dir e.g. if kdb+ installed at C:\q, place the shared library into C:\q\w64\.
  • copy the q script to load the LDAP API (ldap.q) in the current working directory or within the kdb+ install directory.

macOS (Intel)

You can build OpenLdap from source, or use a package manager such as HomeBrew. The HomeBrew package manager provides a installation of OpenLdap. Once HomeBrew is available on your Mac, run the following to install OpenLdap

brew install OpenLdap

To install the library and scripts, either

  • run the provided install.sh

or

  • Copy kdbldap.so which was built or downloaded earlier, to your kdb+ install binary dir e.g. if kdb+ installed at /usr/local/q, place the shared library into /usr/local/q/m64/..
  • The q script to load the ldap API (ldap.q) can be placed in the current working directory or within the kdb+ install directory.
