apt-get -y install libnss-ldap libpam-ldap ldap-utils
(1) specify LDAP server's URI

 +---------------------| Configuring ldap-auth-config |----------------------+
 | Please enter the URI of the LDAP server to use. This is a string in the   |
 | form of ldap://<hostname or IP>:<port>/. ldaps:// or ldapi:// can also    |
 | be used. The port number is optional.                                     |
 |                                                                           |
 | Note: It is usually a good idea to use an IP address because it reduces   |
 | risks of failure in the event name service problems.                      |
 |                                                                           |
 | LDAP server Uniform Resource Identifier:                                  |
 |                                                                           |
 | ldap://dlp.srv.world/_________________________________________________ |
 |                                                                           |
 |                                  <Ok>                                     |
 |                                                                           |
 +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+

(2) specify suffix

 +---------------------| Configuring ldap-auth-config |----------------------+
 | Please enter the distinguished name of the LDAP search base. Many sites   |
 | use the components of their domain names for this purpose. For example,   |
 | the domain "example.net" would use "dc=example,dc=net" as the             |
 | distinguished name of the search base.                                    |
 |                                                                           |
 | Distinguished name of the search base:                                    |
 |                                                                           |
 | dc=srv,dc=world_______________________________________________________    |
 |                                                                           |
 |                                  <Ok>                                     |
 |                                                                           |
 +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+

(3) specify LDAP version

  +---------------------| Configuring ldap-auth-config |---------------------+
  | Please enter which version of the LDAP protocol should be used by        |
  | ldapns. It is usually a good idea to set this to the highest available   |
  | version.                                                                 |
  |                                                                          |
  | LDAP version to use:                                                     |
  |                                                                          |
  |                                    3                                     |
  |                                    2                                     |
  |                                                                          |
  |                                                                          |
  |                                  <Ok>                                    |
  |                                                                          |
  +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+

(4) select the one you like. ( this example selects 'Yes' )

 +---------------------| Configuring ldap-auth-config |----------------------+
 |                                                                           |
 | This option will allow you to make password utilities that use pam to     |
 | behave like you would be changing local passwords.                        |
 |                                                                           |
 | The password will be stored in a separate file which will be made         |
 | readable to root only.                                                    |
 |                                                                           |
 | If you are using NFS mounted /etc or any other custom setup, you should   |
 | disable this.                                                             |
 |                                                                           |
 | Make local root Database admin:                                           |
 |                                                                           |
 |                    <Yes>                       <No>                       |
 |                                                                           |
 +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+

(5) select the one you like. ( this example selects 'No' )

    +-------------------| Configuring ldap-auth-config |-------------------+
    |                                                                      |
    | Choose this option if you are required to login to the database to   |
    | retrieve entries.                                                    |
    |                                                                      |
    | Note: Under a normal setup, this is not needed.                      |
    |                                                                      |
    | Does the LDAP database require login?                                |
    |                                                                      |
    |                   <Yes>                      <No>                    |
    |                                                                      |
    +----------------------------------------------------------------------+

(6) specify LDAP admin account's suffix

          +-------------| Configuring ldap-auth-config |-------------+
          | This account will be used when root changes a password.  |
          |                                                          |
          | Note: This account has to be a privileged account.       |
          |                                                          |
          | LDAP account for root:                                   |
          |                                                          |
          | cn=admin,dc=srv,dc=world_____________________________    |
          |                                                          |
          |                          <Ok>                            |
          |                                                          |
          +----------------------------------------------------------+

(7) specify password for LDAP admin account

 +---------------------| Configuring ldap-auth-config |----------------------+
 | Please enter the password to use when ldap-auth-config tries to login to  |
 | the LDAP directory using the LDAP account for root.                       |
 |                                                                           |
 | The password will be stored in a separate file /etc/ldap.secret which     |
 | will be made readable to root only.                                       |
 |                                                                           |
 | Entering an empty password will re-use the old password.                  |
 |                                                                           |

 |                                  <Ok>                                     |
