Hello everyone!

I have tried to configure my Bind to use an LDAP-database to store the zone configuration. Unfortunately LDAP seems to be unsupported despite the USE-flag:
Code:
# emerge -pv bind
[ebuild   R   ] net-dns/bind-9.3.2  +berkdb +dlz -doc +idn -ipv6 +ldap -mysql -odbc -postgres (-selinux) +ssl +threads 0 kB


the zone-definitions in /etc/bind/named.conf looks like this:
Code:
zone "0.168.192.in-addr.arpa" IN {
    type master;
    database "ldap ldap://127.0.0.1/ou=0.168.192.in-addr.arpa,ou=reverse,ou=zone.master,ou=dns,dc=neonknight,dc=homelinux,dc=org????!bindname=uid=ldapbi
ndaccount,ou=dns,dc=neonknight,dc=homelinux,dc=org, !x-bindpw=xxxxx 172800";
    allow-update { key MYDYNDNS; };
    notify no;
};


Upon startup of bind, the syslog reports:
Code:
 unsupported database type 'ldap'
zone 0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/IN: loading zone: creating database: not found


Well well... is the ldap-USE-flag just a placebo? Or is my database-string in /etc/bind/named.conf wrong?

I followed this howto: http://www.linux-club.de/ftopic35142.html (just needs some minor changes to suit a gentoo-system)

The ebuild has:
Code:
use ldap  && myconf="${myconf} --with-dlz-ldap"

in it, so it should be compiled with ldap support. I have found using an ldap database for zone info (or dhcp for that matter) is a real pain to get working the first time. You have to have everything just right and don't always get a good error message about what's wrong.

Thanks for your reply.
I've taken a look at the ebuild myself, and yes, the USE-flag seems to change something... But is there a way to make sure, that my Bind really supports LDAP? Or what should the database-entry look like?

Sorry for the slow reply.....


I have anonymous searches allowd from localhost - haven't tried to do it with authentication. Here's what I have in the named.conf:

Code:
zone "example.com" {
        type master;
        database "ldap ldap://127.0.0.1/dc=example,dc=com,ou=DNS,o=company 1600";
};


Here's part of the zone:
Code:

dn: dc=com,ou=DNS,o=company
objectClass: domain
dc: com

dn: dc=example,dc=com,ou=DNS,o=company
objectClass: domain
objectClass: top
objectClass: dNSDomain
objectClass: domainRelatedObject
dc: example
associatedDomain: example.com

dn: relativeDomainName=www,dc=example,dc=com,ou=DNS,o=company
dNSClass: IN
objectClass: dNSZone
dNSTTL: 3600
zoneName: example.com
relativeDomainName: www
aRecord: 192.168.1.1


This is using bind 9.2.3 and openldap 2.0.27. Things should be similar for newer versions of each.

neonknight,

The ldap useflag for bind is used for building bind with this: http://bind-dlz.sourceforge.net/ldap_driver.html patch

The howto you are using is refering to this: http://www.venaas.no/ldap/bind-sdb/ patch which is not supported by gentoo as far as I know.

So follow the instructions on the first site or manually patch bind and follow the howto you refered to in you're first post.
