LDAP DHCP Configuration
In order to read the configuration from the DSA you have to place certain
directives in the DHCP servers configuration file (/etc/dhcpd.conf on a
RedHat system). But this file no longer needs to contain group, host, or
subnet declarations, all those can be moved into the DSA.
LDAP server and port
ldap-server "estate1";
ldap-port 389;
ldap-username "cn=dhcpd,ou=System Accounts,dc=whitemice,dc=org";
ldap-password "flibitz";
ldap-base-dn "ou=DHCP,ou=SubSystems,dc=whitemice,dc=org";
ldap-method dynamic;
Bind DN & Credential
Base for search operations
If this value is static the DHCP server simply reads it configuration at startup and
disconnects from the DSA. If this value is dynamic the DHCP server interrogates
the DSA upon each lease request allowing configuration changes without having
to restart the DHCP service.
