DESCRIPTION¶
This manual page documents briefly the
ldap2dns commands. This manual
page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original
program does not have a manual page yet.
ldap2dns is an efficient, administration friendly way to maintain DNS
information and distribute DNS records to multiple primary DNS servers running
djbdns or
BIND
OPTIONS¶
A summary of commanline options is included below.
- -D binddn
- Use the distinguished name binddn to bind to the LDAP
directory.
- -w bindpasswd
- Use bindpasswd as the password for simple
authentication.
- -b
- Use searchbase as the starting point for the search instead
of the default.
- -o data
- Generate a "data" file to be processed by
tinydns-data
- -o db
- For each zone generate a "<zonename>.db"
file to be used by named
- -L[filename]
- Print output in LDIF format for reimport.
- -h host

- -p port
- Portnumber to connect to LDAP server, defaults to 389
- -u numsecs
- Update DNS data after numsecs. Defaults to 59 if started as
daemon.
Important notice: data.cdb is rewritten only after DNSserial in DNSzone is
increased.
- -e exec-cmd
- This command is executed after ldap2dns regenerated its
data files.
- -v
- Run in verbose mode.
- -vv
- Run in even more verbose mode.
- -V

ENVIRONMENT¶
LDAP2DNS_UPDATE The LDAP2DNS_UPDATE environment variable sets the time
interval in seconds to update DNS data. This variable is overridden by -u
option.
LDAP2DNS_OUTPUT Specify the type of output. It may be set to 'data' so
that its output may be used by tinydns. It may be set to 'db' so that its
output may be used by
TINYDNSDIR The root-directory used by tinydns, ie. the one in which to
tinydns expects its 'data'-file.
FILES¶
/etc/openldap/ldap.conf
