SLAPD-DNSSRV(5) 	       File Formats Manual		 SLAPD-DNSSRV(5)

NAME
     slapd-dnssrv - DNS SRV referral backend to slapd

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/local/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  "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 opera-
     tion when the manageDSAit control (RFC 3296) is used, otherwise  for  every
     operation	a referral, whenever appropriate, or an error is returned.  Cur-
     rently, there is no means to condition the returning  of  the  referral  by
     means  of	ACLs; no access control is implemented, except for read (=r) ac-
     cess 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.
