💖 ldap2zone(1) — the general commands manual glow-up 💖

okay bestie, so this one is ldap2zone, and it lives in the General Commands Manual section (that's the (1) — very "section one main character energy", iykyk). Let's get into it 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

ldap2zone — convert zones saved inside the LDAP to bind9 zone files. yes literally. LDAP in, bind9 zone files out. ate. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ldap2zone zone-name LDAP-URL default-ttl [serial]

four little slots, three of them required, one optional. she's structured, she's organized, she's that girl. 🎀

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

So here's the vibe: you convert zones saved in LDAP into ordinary zone files, using ldap2zone, and the whole reason you'd do that is to avoid dependencies from LDAP to bind. no cap. it's giving "please stop making bind and LDAP text each other directly, we're doing a handoff instead" 🫶

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • zone-name — the name of the zone to be extracted from LDAP. and listen, it can be a forward zone or a reverse zone, so no gatekeeping on direction here 💖
  • LDAP-URL — the URL to access the LDAP server, in the format ldap[s]://server-ip/base. note the [s] bestie — yes, that's the secure one being optional. 👑
  • default-ttl — the zone TTL, in seconds. just a number, living her life, being seconds. ⏱️
  • serial — the zone serial number. 📓
heads up that serial is the one in square brackets in the synopsis, so she's the optional girly of the group 🫶

💀 RETURN VALUE 💀

the script returns zero values on success. that's it. that's the whole report card. zero = slay. 🌟

🧚 EXAMPLES 🧚

here's her in her natural habitat, being iconic:

ldap2zone example.net ldap://ldap.example.net/dc=example,dc=net 1200 200708291528

look at that — zone name, LDAP URL, TTL of 1200 seconds, and a serial of 200708291528. all four slots filled, no crumbs left. 🔥
