SLAPD-DNSSRV(5)                                                                              SLAPD-DNSSRV(5)



NAME
       slapd-dnssrv - DNS SRV referral backend to slapd

SYNOPSIS
       /etc/openldap/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  "data-base "database
       base 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 (RFC3296) is  used,  other-wise otherwise
       wise 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  imple-mented, implemented,
       mented,  except for read (=r) access to the returned entries, which is actually provided by the fron-tend. frontend.
       tend.  Note, however, that the information returned by this backend is collected through the DNS,  so
       it is public by definition.
