# ldap
## Name
_ldap_ - serves a zone from a ldap backend.
## Description
The ldap plugin resolves A, AAAA y PTR RR from a ldap backend. To reduce load on
the backend, you can enable cache by configuring `cacheTimeout=30m`.
## Compilation
This package will always be compiled as part of CoreDNS and not in a standalone
way. It will require you to use `go get` or as a dependency on
[plugin.cfg](https://github.com/coredns/coredns/blob/master/plugin.cfg).
The [manual](https://coredns.io/manual/toc/#what-is-coredns) will have more
information about how to configure and extend the server with external plugins.
A simple way to consume this plugin, is by adding the following on
[plugin.cfg](https://github.com/coredns/coredns/blob/master/plugin.cfg), and
recompile it as
[detailed on coredns.io](https://coredns.io/2017/07/25/compile-time-enabling-or-disabling-plugins/#build-with-compile-time-configuration-file).
```
ldap:github.com/xoe-labs/ldap
```
After this you can compile coredns by:
```shell script
go generate
go build
```
Or you can instead use make:
```shell script
make
```
## Syntax
```txt
ldap
```
## Metrics
If monitoring is enabled (via the _prometheus_ directive) the following metric
is exported:
- `coredns_ldap_request_count_total{server}` - query count to the _ldap_ plugin.
The `server` label indicated which server handled the request, see the _metrics_
plugin for details.
## Ready
This plugin reports readiness to the ready plugin. It will be immediately ready.
## Examples
In this configuration, we forward all queries to 9.9.9.9 and print "ldap"
whenever we receive a query.
```corefile
. {
forward . 9.9.9.9
ldap
}
```
