Hi Russell, Back in 2003, you submitted a wishlist bug against the Debian ldap-utils package:
> It would be nice if the LDAP utils were able to make use of SRV records in > DNS for locating LDAP servers on the network. I wanted to let you know that I forwarded this to the OpenLDAP developers and they have just committed an implementation of this to the OpenLDAP sources. From the bug report (ITS #4996): | Committed to HEAD. Command-line clients now use DNS SRV to look up the | host names related to a DN and build a list of URIs for subsequent use. | To trigger, use -H "<proto>:///DN". The <host> portion must be empty, | and a DN must be present. The DN must be in the "dc=<component>" form; | it's turned into a domain and the host list is looked up using DNS SRV. | After that, a list of URIs is built using the returned host/ports, and | using <proto> as the LDAP scheme. If you're in a position to test this (by downloading the current CVS code of OpenLDAP following the details on http://www.openldap.org/), I'm sure that the OpenLDAP developers would appreciate it. Tested patches are more likely to make it quickly into stable releases. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
