NAME

6       slapd-dnssrv - DNS SRV referral backend to slapd
7

SYNOPSIS

9       /etc/openldap/slapd.conf
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The  DNSSRV  backend to slapd(8) serves up referrals based upon SRV re‐
13       source records held in the Domain Name System.
14
15       This backend is experimental.
16

CONFIGURATION

18       The DNSSRV backend has no backend nor database specific options.  It is
19       configured  simply  by  "database  dnssrv" followed a suffix directive,
20       e.g. suffix "".
21

ACCESS CONTROL

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