Overview

LDAP Account Manager (LAM) is the long established open source web front end for administering an LDAP directory. Instead of editing raw LDIF or reaching for command line tools, administrators browse and manage users, groups, hosts and other account types through a clean browser interface, with reusable account profiles, a tree view, PDF export and password self service.

This is a self contained directory appliance: OpenLDAP runs on the instance as the directory backend and LAM sits in front of it, so a single instance gives you a working, browsable directory. It suits teams that want a self hosted identity store they fully control, a central place to manage POSIX and organisational accounts, or a friendly interface over an existing OpenLDAP schema without exposing raw tooling to every administrator.

Why the cloudimg image

cloudimg delivers LAM hardened, fully patched and preconfigured so the sign in page is working the moment it boots. OpenLDAP is provisioned with a ready made People and Groups layout and a couple of sample accounts, so the management interface is populated straight away, and the directory service is bound to the loopback interface so it is never exposed off the instance. No default logins ship: three secrets, the directory manager password you sign in with, the LAM master configuration password and the LAM server profile password, are generated uniquely on first boot and written to a root only file. Every deployment is paired with a step by step deploy guide and backed by 24/7 support. cloudimg is not affiliated with the LDAP Account Manager project.
