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 + +Stig Venaas <venaas@uninett.no> 2004-08-15 |
