[Pdns-users] NOTIFY by pdns master with ldap backend in next authoritative server releases?

[Nikolaos Milas]

  Thanks again for your help, JP.

I describe in short some more things I tried (I still need your guidance):

Initially, I found out that the plugin was not being loaded in openldap 
(as recorded in ldap.log):

    /etc/openldap/slapd.conf: line 182: keyword <plugin> ignored

And:

    # slaptest -d 255 -f slapd.conf
    ...
    line 186 (plugin postoperation /usr/local/lib/slapi-dnsnotify.so
    plugin_init base-dn=ou=dns1,dc=example,dc=com
    zone-attribute=associatedDomain notify-delay=10)
    slapd.conf: line 186: keyword <plugin> ignored
    ...
    config file testing succeeded

Trying to solve the problem (why the plugin is not loaded), I came to 
the conclusion that I should probably add a "moduleload 
slapi-dnsnotify.la" directive in slapd.conf. So I copied the files 
"slapi-dnsnotify.*" to the directory where all openldap modules exist 
(/usr/lib64/openldap/) and tried again. But now openldap doesn't start 
at all:

    # slaptest -d 255 -f slapd.conf
    ...
    line 59 (moduleload slapi-dnsnotify.la)
    loaded module slapi-dnsnotify.la
    module slapi-dnsnotify.la: init_module() failed
    slapd.conf: line 59: <moduleload> handler exited with 1!
    slaptest: bad configuration file!

Why openldap refuses to load the plugin (one way or another)? Am I doing 
something wrong?
