To install and configure LDAP, we need to first create an Ubuntu server. The current version for Ubuntu server installation media can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server.
After downloading, follow the steps provided to install an Ubuntu server.
We need a second system with a desktop version of Ubuntu installed. This will be used to access your LDAP server through a web interface.
Once this is done, we can proceed with the installation of LDAP.
