This is the INSTALL file for 1.0-beta. See
http://www.venaas.no/ldap/bind-sdb/ for updates or other information.
BUILDING
You need the source for BIND 9.1.0 or newer (for zone transfers you
will need at least 9.1.1rc3 due to a bug). Basically you need to follow
the instructions in doc/misc/sdb, if my instructions don't make sense,
please have a look at those as well.
Copy ldapdb.c to bin/named and ldapdb.h to bin/named/include in the
source tree.
Next alter bin/named/Makefile.in. Add ldapdb.@O@ to DBDRIVER_OBJS and
ldapdb.c to DBDRIVER_SRCS. You also need to add something like
-I/usr/local/include to DBDRIVER_INCLUDES and
-L/usr/local/lib -lldap -llber -lresolv to DBDRIVER_LIBS
depending on what LDAP library you have and where you installed it.
Finally you need to edit bin/named/main.c. Below where it says
"#include "xxdb.h"", add the line "#include <ldapdb.h>". Below where
it says "xxdb_init();" add the line "ldapdb_init();", and finally
below where it says "xxdb_clear();", add "ldapdb_clear();".
Now you should hopefully be able to build as usual; first configure
and then make. If you get an error message about ldap_memfree() not
being defined, you're probably using an LDAP library with the
interface defined in RFC 1823. To build, uncomment the "#define
LDAPDB_RFC1823API" line near the top of ldapdb.c.
Also, if you're using an LDAPv2 only server, you need to change
the line "#define LDAPDB_LDAP_VERSION 3" in ldapdb.c. Simply
replace 3 with 2. Instead of editing the file, you may define
LDAPDB_LDAP_VERSION yourself.
If you want to use TLS, you need to uncommed the #define LDAPDB_TLS"
line near the top of ldapdb.c.
CONFIGURING
Before you do any configuring of LDAP stuff, please try to configure
and start bind as usual to see if things work.
To do anything useful, you need to store a zone in some LDAP server.
You must use a schema called dNSZone. Note that it relies on some
attribute definitions in the Cosine schema, so that must be included
as well. The Cosine schema probably comes with your LDAP server. You
can find dNSZone and further details on how to store the data in your
LDAP server at http://www.venaas.no/ldap/bind-sdb/
To make BIND use a zone stored in LDAP, you will have to put something
like this in named.conf:
zone "venaas.com" {
type master;
database "ldap ldap://158.38.160.245/dc=venaas,dc=com,o=DNS,dc=venaas,dc=no 172800";
};
When doing lookups BIND will do a sub-tree search below the base in the
URL. The number 172800 is the TTL which will be used for all entries that
haven't got the dNSTTL attribute. It is also possible to add a filter to
the URL, say "ldap://host/base???(o=internal)".
Version 1.0 also has support for simple LDAP bind, that is, binding to
LDAP using plain text authentication. The bind dn and password is coded
into the URL as extensions, according to RFC 2255. If you want simple
bind with say dn "cn=Manager,dc=venaas,dc=no" and password "secret", the
URL will be something like this:
ldap://158.38.160.245/dc=venaas,dc=com,o=DNS,dc=venaas,dc=no????!bindname=cn=Manager%2cdc=venaas%2cdc=no,!x-bindpw=secret
This URL may also include a filter part if you need it. Note that in
the bind dn, "," is hex-escaped as "%2c". This is necessary since ","
is the separator between the extension elements. The "!" in front of
"bindname" and "x-bindpw" can be omitted if you prefer. "x-bindpw" is
not standardized, but it's used by several other LDAP applications. See
RFC 2255 for details.
Finally, if you enabled TLS when compiling, you can also use TLS if
you like. To do this you use the extension "x-tls", e.g.
ldap://158.38.160.245/dc=venaas,dc=com,o=DNS,dc=venaas,dc=no????!bindname=cn=Manager%2cdc=venaas%2cdc=no,!x-bindpw=secret,x-tls
