OpenDJ is an LDAPv3 compliant open source directory service, which has been developed for the Java platform, providing a high performance, highly available, and secure store for managing identities.

It is an alternative to OpenLDAP.

## Installation

opendjAUR package contains LDAP server and many LDAP related utilities such as `ldapsearch` which is also provided by OpenLDAP.

Note: Tools from opendjAUR are prefixed with `opendj-` to avoid causing conflicts.

## Configuration

This article or section needs expansion.

Reason: TODO (Discuss in Talk:OpenDJ)

You can start/enable `opendj.service`.

## Upgrade

After installing newer opendjAUR version, you will need to upgrade its database by executing:

    # /usr/share/opendj/upgrade

## Troubleshooting

OpenDJ server log files are located in `/var/lib/opendj/logs/`.

Specifically take a look at `server.out` and `errors` files.

You can also check the unit status of `opendj.service`.

## Tips

You can use Control Panel for some configuration:

    # OPENDJ_JAVA_ARGS="-Xmx2048m" opendj-control-panel
