From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050919 Firefox/1.0.7 Description of problem: Since bind already has the LDAP connectivity included it would be great to have LDAP support in dhcp too. This patch (http://www.lunytune.net/isc-ldap.html) seems to be around for some time now and should be well tested. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Try to use DHCP information from a LDAP tree in combination with the dhcp server. Additional info:
We provide the ISC BIND LDAP support because it is included in the ISC BIND source contrib/sdb/ldap directory, and many users have requested it . The ISC BIND SDB support is provided in a separate executable, named_sdb, so that users who do not need SDB support do not have to run a modified named. There is no patch for dhcpd LDAP support in the ISC dhcp source contrib/ directory. If there was, we'd consider using it to provide a 'dhcpd_ldap' server. This is the only request received so far for dhcpd ldap support. If you'd like to see ldap support shipped in the standard dhcpd server, please email a request for the inclusion of the LDAP patch in contrib/ to dhcp-hackers@isc.org - if it is shipped in the ISC contrib/ directory, we'll consider shipping a dhcpd_ldap server .
