6 slapd\-dnssrv \- DNS SRV referral backend to slapd
12 serves up referrals based upon SRV resource records held in
13 the Domain Name System.
15 This backend is experimental.
17 The DNSSRV backend has no backend nor database specific options.
18 It is configured simply by "database dnssrv" followed a suffix
19 directive, e.g. suffix "".
23 backend does not honor all ACL semantics as described in
25 In fact, this backend only implements the
29 control (RFC 3296) is used, otherwise for every operation a referral,
30 whenever appropriate, or an error is returned.
31 Currently, there is no means to condition the returning of the referral
32 by means of ACLs; no access control is implemented, except for
34 access to the returned entries, which is actually provided by the frontend.
35 Note, however, that the information returned by this backend is collected
36 through the DNS, so it is public by definition.
