Configure "ACTIVE DIRECTORY SERVER" with Samba PDC + OpenLDAP on SUSE LINUX (PART 1)

I have written Samba PDC+OpenLDAP tutorial on openSUSE on previous article but the tutorial are based on manual configuration and need too many steps to make it usable. Now, I want to share how to make Samba PDC+OpenLDAP on openSUSE or SLES with automatic configuration using the YAST way :-) . The tutorial should be easy to understand and and need a few step to make it ready for testing.
INSTALLING OPENSUSE
Install openSUSE 11.2 with or without GUI, choose which one suitable for your purpose. I’m using a GUI example because this tutorial intended for student :-) . a Minimal server selection (text mode) maybe a better option for production server. Please refer to openSUSE 11.2 installation guide if you need an assistance regarding openSUSE installation.
Lucky for Indonesian :-D , I’ve written a PDF tutorial with clear explanation regarding openSUSE installation for this purpose  : Tutorial Instalasi openSUSE 11.2 Versi Server Berbasis GUI

INSTALLING LDAP SERVER
Follow these wizard to install and configure LDAP server :
  1. Open YAST | Software | Software Management

    `
  5. Click Accept
  6. openSUSE should be automatically detect dependency package. Click Continue to install selected package
    `
  7. Close YAST and then open again. I take this step to make sure YAST refresh new package installation and add to it’s menu
  8. Choose YAST | Network Service | LDAP Server
  9. Click Yes on Start LDAP Server. Give it a check mark on Open Port in Firewall if you use firewall. Leave others as is and then click Next
    `
  10. Click Enable TLS and then create TLS Certificate by using Launch CA Management Module button and follow the wizard. Leave it unchecked if you wish to use LDAP without TLS connection.
    `
  11. On basic database setting fill in the default database setting :
    01.Database Type : hdb
    02.Base DN : dc=domainname, dc=tld
    03.Example :
    04.If my  domain = vavai.co.id, configuration will be like this : Base DN = dc=vavai, dc=co, dc=id
    05.If my domain = vavai.com, configuration will be like this : Base DN = dc=vavai, dc=com
    06.Administrator DN : cn= Administrator. Leave  Append Base DN option checked
    07.Don't forget to fill your  LDAP Password
    08. 
    09.Also, leave a check mark on  "Use this database as the default for OpenLDAP"
    Click Next if all setting has been completed.
    `
  12. Click Finish
    `
