LDAP2BIND(1)

💅 LDAP2BIND 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to ldap2bind — section 1 of the General Commands Manual, she's a real one, no cap 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

ldap2bind — literally here to update bind's DNS zones from LDAP. that's the whole gig. iconic behavior 💖

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ldap2bind

that's it. that's the synopsis. she takes nothing. periodt 👑

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does the girl actually do?? the ldap2bind program converts DNS zones from LDAP into bind zone configuration files, and then reloads those zones. and how does she do it?? she uses ldap2zone(1) to do the conversion, obviously. delegation queen 💅

and here's the thing — the script takes no options fr fr, but some variables are defined and you can totally modify them using /etc/default/ldap2zone. an example of this file is provided in /usr/share/doc/ldap2zone/examples/, so like, go look if you're confused bestie 🙈

usually ldap2bind is called from a cron job that updates the zones regularly from LDAP. she's a set-it-and-forget-it kind of girl, main character energy ✨

---

🎀 Notes 🎀

okay this part is IMPORTANT so pay attention:

the file named.conf.ldap2zone must exist in bind's configuration directory, and it has to be included in bind's configuration. this is usually done by including it in named.conf.local. like, no file = no vibes = nothing works 😭 don't skip this step, i'm begging 🫶
