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 (RFC 3296) 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.
