Talk:PowerDNS LDAP Backend/Installation

Parameter in config file

Hi I am tring to install powerdns with ldap backend. In /usr/local/pdns/etc/pdns.conf I added.

• launch=ldap
• ldap-host (default "ldap://127.0.0.1:389/")
• ldap-basedn (default "ou=hosts,dc=exemple,dc=net")
• ldap-binddn (default "cn=admin,dc=exemple,dc=net")
• ldap-secret (default "password")
• ldap-method (default "simple")

and I get this error in /varf/log/syslog:

Respawning
pdns[30325]: Guardian is launching an instance
pdns[30325]: This is a guarded instance of pdns
pdns[30325]: Fatal error: Trying to set unexisting parameter 'ldap-host
(default "ldap://127.0.0.1:389/")'
pdns[22533]: Our pdns instance exited with code 1

The correct syntax is:

• launch=ldap
• ldap-host=ldap://127.0.0.1:389/
• ldap-basedn=ou=hosts,dc=exemple,dc=net
• ldap-binddn=cn=admin,dc=exemple,dc=net
• ldap-secret=password
• ldap-method=simple

Keyword and value must be separated by an equal sign.
