We have made the configuration changes we need to the phpLDAPadmin software. We can now begin to use it.
We can access the web interface by visiting our server's domain name or public IP address followed by the alias we configured. In our case, this was /superldap:
http://<server_domain_name_or_IP>/superldap
The first time you visit, you will probably see a warning about the site's SSL certificate.
The warning is just here to let you know that the browser does not recognize the certificate authority that signed your certificate. Since we signed our own certificate, this is expected and not a problem.
Click the Proceed anyway button or whatever similar option your browser gives you.
Next, you will see the password prompt that you configured for Apache.
Fill in the account credentials you created with the htpasswd command. You will see the main phpLDAPadmin landing page.
Click on the login link, on the left-hand side of the page.
You will be taken to a login prompt. The login DN is like the username that you will be using. It contains the account name under cn and the domain name you selected for the server broken into dc sections as we described above.
It should be pre-populated with the correct value for the admin account if you configured phpLDAPadmin correctly. In our case, this looks like this:
cn=admin,dc=test,dc=com
For the password, enter the administrator password that you configured during the LDAP configuration.
