Hey all,

in preparation to migrate an EL7 server I noticed that the openldap-servers package is not shipped in EL8 anymore.

Is it possible to operate 389-ds as standalone ldap server? I am asking this for the context of CentOS Linux because I read somewhere that 389-ds is mainly used for RHDS only and unsure now about the possibilities to substitute openldap-servers/slapd ...

I suggest you to use OpenLDAP packages from here:

https://ltb-project.org/download

Alternatively, you could use:

We have been using ltb-project packages and they work flawlessly for many years (since CentOS 6).
