titleFor Linux only, a manual build of curl to query the Active Directory server

The component uses curl to query the active directory server. For Windows, a version of the curl binary is shipped with the component.

Check if curl is installed on your Linux machine – if your system does not have a version of curl that supports ldap, follow the directions below to build curl.

Code Block
curl --version

OUTPUT:
curl 8.6.0 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/8.6.0 OpenSSL/3.0.8 OpenLDAP/2.4.57
Release-Date: 2024-01-31
Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher gophers http https imap imaps ipfs ipns ldap ldaps mqtt pop3 pop3s rtsp smb smbs smtp smtps telnet tftp
Features: alt-svc AsynchDNS HSTS HTTPS-proxy IPv6 Largefile NTLM SSL threadsafe TLS-SRP UnixSockets

These steps show building curl from source for Amazon Linux. For other flavours of linux, adjust the commands accordingly (some common alternatives are included after the steps).

Step 1: Get the latest curl download from the curl website download page.

Code Block
wget https://curl.se/download/curl-8.611.0.tar.gz

Step 2: Use tar to extract the files.

Code Block
tar -xzf curl-8.6.0.tar.gz

Step 3: cd into the curl folder.

Code Block
cd curl-8.6.0/

Step 4: Install gcc if needed.

Code Block
sudo yum install gcc

Step 5: Install openldap-devel.x86_64 if needed.

Code Block
sudo yum install openldap-devel.x86_64

Step 6: Install openssl-devel.x86_64 if needed.

Code Block
sudo yum install openssl-devel.x86_64

Step 7: Run the command to configure and enable ldap.

Code Block
./configure --enable-ldap --with-openssl --without-libpsl

Step 8: Compile the source code.

Code Block
make

Step 9: Install source code.

Code Block
sudo make install

Step 10: Check curl version and make sure LDAP is present in the Protocols list.

Code Block
curl --version

OUTPUT:
curl 8.6.0 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/8.6.0 OpenSSL/3.0.8 OpenLDAP/2.4.57
Release-Date: 2024-01-31
Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher gophers http https imap imaps ipfs ipns ldap ldaps mqtt pop3 pop3s rtsp smb smbs smtp smtps telnet tftp
Features: alt-svc AsynchDNS HSTS HTTPS-proxy IPv6 Largefile NTLM SSL threadsafe TLS-SRP UnixSockets
Info

Install commands will vary on ARM Amazon Linux etc., for example:

Step 4: Install gcc if needed.

  • Ubuntu ARM and Intel: sudo apt install gcc

  • Red Hat and Fedora ARM and Intel: sudo dnf install gcc

Step 5: Install openldap if needed.

  • Amazon ARM: sudo yum install openldap-devel

  • Ubuntu ARM and Intel: sudo apt install libldap2-dev

  • Red Hat and Fedora ARM and Intel: sudo dnf install openldap-devel

Step 6: Install openssl if needed.

  • Amazon ARM: sudo yum install openssl-devel

  • Ubuntu ARM and Intel: sudo apt install libssl-dev

  • Red Hat and Fedora ARM and Intel: sudo dnf install openssl-devel
