slapd-dnssrv(5)


NAME

   slapd-dnssrv - DNS SRV referral backend to slapd

SYNOPSIS

   /etc/ldap/slapd.conf

DESCRIPTION

   The  DNSSRV  backend  to  slapd(8)  serves  up referrals based upon SRV
   resource records held in the Domain Name System.

   This backend is experimental.

CONFIGURATION

   The DNSSRV backend has no backend nor database specific options.  It is
   configured  simply  by  "database  dnssrv" followed a suffix directive,
   e.g. suffix "".

ACCESS CONTROL

   The dnssrv backend does not honor all ACL  semantics  as  described  in
   slapd.access(5).   In  fact,  this  backend  only implements the search
   operation when the manageDSAit control (RFC 3296)  is  used,  otherwise
   for  every  operation  a referral, whenever appropriate, or an error is
   returned.  Currently, there is no means to condition the  returning  of
   the referral by means of ACLs; no access control is implemented, except
   for read (=r)  access  to  the  returned  entries,  which  is  actually
   provided by the frontend.  Note, however, that the information returned
   by this backend is collected through  the  DNS,  so  it  is  public  by
   definition.
