Configuration for PowerDNS Admin

Navigate

  • Login to PowerDNS Admin
  • Navigate to: Administration > Settings > Authentication
  • Select the LDAP tab of the Authentication Settings

LDAP Config

  • Enable LDAP Authentication: Checked
  • Type: OpenLDAP

Administrator Info

  • LDAP URI: ldap://<your-lldap-ip-or-hostname>:3890
  • LDAP Base DN: ou=people,dc=example,dc=com
  • LDAP admin username: uid=admin,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com
    • It is recommended that you create a separate user account (e.g, bind_user) instead of admin for sharing Bind credentials with other services. The bind_user should be a member of the lldap_strict_readonly group to limit access to your LDAP configuration in LLDAP.
  • LDAP admin password: password of the user specified above

Filters

  • Basic filter: (objectClass=person)
  • Username field: uid
  • Group filter: (objectClass=groupOfUniqueNames)
  • Group name field: member

Group Security (Optional)

If Group Security is disabled, all users authenticated via LDAP will be given the "User" role.

Group Security is an optional configuration for LLDAP users. It provides a simple 1:1 mapping between LDAP groups, and PowerDNS roles.

  • Operator group: cn=dns_operator,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com
