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.
