Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the EC2 instance type you run this preconfigured OpenLDAP appliance on. The software itself carries no license fee; your hourly rate reflects the compute size you choose. Options span many instance families, including general-purpose (t3, m8i-flex), compute-optimized (c-series), memory-optimized (r8i), and storage-optimized (i7i) types. Larger sizes cost more per hour because they provide more CPU, memory, or storage. Smaller sizes like t3.micro suit light directory workloads, while larger sizes handle heavier demand. Pick the size that fits your workload; you can change instance types as your needs shift.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The hourly software rate meters running time only. A stopped instance stops accruing hourly software charges. You may still pay underlying AWS storage fees for the attached volume while the instance is stopped. Restarting the instance resumes hourly charges at the rate for your chosen size.
One hour covers running the preconfigured OpenLDAP appliance on one EC2 instance of the size you selected. The software carries no separate license fee. The appliance ships with the LDAP directory server, web-based administration, and TLS support ready to run. You pay only the per-hour rate for that compute size.
No automatic change happens. You choose the instance size when you launch, and you can move to a different size later. Your hourly rate then reflects the new size you run. Larger sizes bill at higher hourly rates because they supply more CPU, memory, or storage.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Usage instructions
System Initialization:
After creating an EC2 instance with 1-Click, browse to http://<Public_DNS>/ for system initialization instructions.
Alternatively, log in via SSH as user 'admin' to the running instance. Be sure to use the SSH keypair selected during launch.
This inital step is required to set sensitive passwords & install security updates. You may also be asked to set a domain name for your server. If this is required, then it must be a valid domain name (i.e. have DNS configured).
Accessing the software main web app
http://<Public_DNS>/
This may redirect to https and/or the domain set at initialisation.
OS commands via SSH
Log into the running instance via SSH as user 'admin', using the SSH keypair set at launch time. Use sudo to run commands requiring root access.
Web based System Admin control panel

Remove scary browser warnings
By default TurnKey AMIs ship with randomly generated self signed SSL/TLS certifcates. This will cause scary warning in your web browser When accessing https.
To remove the browser warnings, you will need to get a SSL/TLS certificate signed by an authorized Certificate Authority (CA). The recommended way to do that is to get a free Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. TurnKey comes with a built in tool to do that within your instance:
-
Ensure that you have your chosen domain DNS records configured and your domain resolves to your instance.
-
Access your instance via SSH.
-
Run 'sudo confconsole'.
-
Select:
Advanced >> Lets Encrypt >> Gen cert

Reliable Servers Password Syncer
Reviewed on Jul 04, 2023
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Turnkey's Open LDAP comes with a bundle of dependent packages and is easy to install. it has a unique username and has a self-password reset tool that can be used to reset the password for your username, and it will sync to hundreds of AWS servers in one go with the sshd service installed on the host servers. Adding users with GID and UID is an easy process. This is especially useful if you operate an SSH to hundreds of servers daily. It does support Amazon Web Services instances very well without getting any password syncing errors.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is doing an excellent job with an accessible LDAP server, and there aren't things I dislike about it. It's just we need to be careful of configurations with groups and adding GID and UIDs
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It supports Sha512 password encryption which is very secure and takes less time to sync the password. It is the most benefit for my company

OpenLDAP is reach featured and light weight directory service
Reviewed on Dec 09, 2022
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
LDAP by its nature is lightweight and fast. It's structured for hierarchical access to user information and easy to search based on all of this information. It also has support for an SSL protocol (LDAPS) which I highly recommend. Also it has huge community of support.
What do you dislike about the product?
It does not have inbuilt user interface, so you have to be a skilled person to operate this. And It only supports LDAP protocol while other Directory Services support much protocol such as Kerberos
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
First of all OpenLDAP is free and opensource in nature these will help us in cost management, secondly It has easily managing interface so we no longer required expert to manage it.
