Description Daniel Klaffenbach 2007-01-06 20:30:22 UTC

it would be really cool if you could add support for ldap (bind-sdb) in the bind ebuild. actually bind-sdb is already included in bind9, but you have to add some things to the makefile to get it to work (as you can see in the readme of bind-sdb). i've tried to use the ldap use-flag for bind, but this does not enable bind-sdb. maybe you could add a use-flag like "bind-sdb" in a future release of bind, to enable support for a ldap-database.
people who use gentoo on their servers (like me;) would probably love this.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. download bind from isc.org
2. unpack
3. check files in contrib/sdb/ldap

same for me with 9.3.4 and hardened profile ...

falling back to previous version (which was 9.3.2-r4) did the trick ...

btw, you can use dlz's ldap support atm.

Comment 3 Daniel Klaffenbach 2007-09-05 16:48:24 UTC

OK, I know it took a while but I've finally tried dlz. What I can say about dlz/LDAP right now is that it is a pain in the butt to get it to work with ldap - I gave up after many sleepless nights :(...
Bind-sdb is much easier to set up and also easier to administrate/modify. Since it does _not_ require any additional files (they come with every release of bind) it should not be too hard to add sdb-support...
