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
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
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.
