First configuration steps

Change default DNS domain

By default, DNS domain is example.com. You can change it quick with a sed command. For example, we change it to ow2.org:

sed -i 's/example\.com/ow2.org/g' /etc/lemonldap-ng/* /var/lib/lemonldap-ng/conf/lmConf-1.js /var/lib/lemonldap-ng/test/index.pl

Reload virtual host

To allow the manager to reload the configuration, register the reload virtual host name in the hosts of the server:

echo "127.0.0.1 reload.example.com" >> /etc/hosts
Adapt the reload virtual host name to the domain you configured.

Upgrade

If you upgraded LL::NG, check all upgrade notes.

DNS

Configure your DNS server to resolve names with your server IP.

For tests with example.com, launch the following :
cat /etc/lemonldap-ng/for_etc_hosts >> /etc/hosts
