I have the task of setting up ldap as a backing store for puppet manifest information. It looks like this was well-documented in a previous version of puppet:
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet/wiki/Ldap_Nodes
I'm assuming that this is still a reasonable way to solve this problem when working with puppet enterprise 1.0 (aka puppet 2.6).
ruby-ldap dependency
Test for the dependency like this:
ruby -rldap -e 'puts :installed'
Install ruby-ldap, which I downloaded from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ruby-ldap/
That wants to build against openldap libraries and needs to know what version I have installed. Here are the options:
$ ruby extconf.rb [--with-openldap1|--with-openldap2|--with-netscape|--with-wldap32]
Here is what I have installed:
rday@merkli:~/Downloads/ruby-ldap-0.9.8$ dpkg -l "*ldap*" Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================ un ldap-server <none> (no description available) un ldap-utils <none> (no description available) ii libkldap4 4:4.6.5-0ubunt library for accessing LDAP un libldap-2.3-0 <none> (no description available) ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.23-6ubuntu OpenLDAP libraries un libldap-ruby1. <none> (no description available) un libldap2 <none> (no description available) un libnet-ldap-pe <none> (no description available) un libsasl2-modul <none> (no description available) un libwine-ldap <none> (no description available) un postfix-ldap <none> (no description available) un sudo-ldap <none> (no description available) un umich-ldapd <none> (no description available)
Does that mean I should use the ldap2 or ldap1 switch?
I'll try ldap2 first:
rday@merkli:~/Downloads/ruby-ldap-0.9.8$ ruby extconf.rb --with-openldap2 extconf.rb:7:in `require': no such file to load -- mkmf (LoadError) from extconf.rb:7 rday@merkli:~/Downloads/ruby-ldap-0.9.8$ ruby extconf.rb --with-openldap1 extconf.rb:7:in `require': no such file to load -- mkmf (LoadError) from extconf.rb:7
Neither one works.
So I tried using a pre-packaged ruby-ldap provided by an Ubuntu repo:
ii libldap-ruby1.8 0.9.7-1.1 OpenLDAP library binding for Ruby 1.8
Now the dependency test passes:
rday@merkli:~/Downloads/ruby-ldap-0.9.8$ ruby -rldap -e 'puts :installed' installed
