389 Directory Server provides a console package for use on Windows. See Download for the current installable package.
Prerequisites:
Source: Source
Build: The build uses a regular CMD shell - no cygwin, msys, etc. are required, but NOTE: the unzip.vbs unzipper is currently broken, so the build by default will use unzip.exe from MozillaBuild info-zip - you can provide another unzip.exe tool if desired
The 389 Console.msi and other files built by nmake will be found in the build.PLATFORM directory. The PLATFORM will usually be something like WINNT5.X_OPT.OBJ for 32-bit or WINNT5.X_64_OPT.OBJ for 64-bit.
You may have to punch two or three holes in the FireWall (iptables) before the Windows Console will work.
This can happen when SELINUX is set to “disabled” but SELINUXTYPE is set to “targeted” in /etc/sysconfig/selinux, not sure why?
# cat /etc/sysconfig/selinux
SELINUX=disabled
SELINUXTYPE=targeted
One hole for port 389 (ldap), one hole for port 636 (ldaps - only if using TLS/SSL with the console -see below), and the other for the admin server port (9830 by default).
# vi /etc/sysconfig/iptables
Add two lines:
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 389 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 636 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 9830 -j ACCEPT
Then restart the firewall:
# service iptables restart
By default, the console expects your key and cert database files in $HOME/.389-console. On Windows, this is usually something like C:\Documents and Settings\
certutil -A -d "C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\.389-console" -n "CA Certificate" -t CT,, -i cacert.asc -a
for example, to add the CA cert from the file cacert.asc encoded in ASCII (PEM) format. Now your Console running on Windows should be able to use https and ldaps.
