First, we will install the packages onto VM1 with
sudo wget https://repo.symas.com/configs/SOFL/rhel8/sofl.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/sofl.repo:
[bill@target ~]$ sudo wget https://repo.symas.com/configs/SOFL/rhel8/sofl.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/sofl.repo

2. Install LDAP packages
We will make use of the following LDAP packages
- openldap
- openldap-clients
- openldap-servers
- nss-pam-ldapd
- mod_ldap
[!TIP]
Server commands start with
slapClient commands start with
ldap
Then install the packages with
sudo dnf install -y symas-openldap-clients symas-openldap-servers oddjob-mkhomedir
This doesn’t work on mac so left in the dark, the error is
