Bug 155743 – net-dns/bind-9.3.2-r4 does not know database type 'ldap'

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Reto Leuenberger 2006-11-20 00:49:03 UTC]

I installed BIND 9.3.2-r4 with the following USE flags:

USE="dlz doc idn ipv6 ldap ssl -berkdb -mysql -odbc -postgres (-selinux) -threads"

Then a setup a the config. It works fine with normal zone files... I switched one zone to LDAP:

zone "unix.sea" IN {
   type master;
   database "ldap ldap://127.0.0.1/ou=hosts,dc=unix,dc=sea 86400";
};

When I start the BIND daemon I get the followong error:

Nov 19 13:40:47 triggerfish named[4092]: starting BIND 9.3.2-P1 -u named -n 1

Is it possible that the LDAP patch does not work as expected?

your configuration is slightly wrong. please, refer to dlz's documentation page:
