DNS Connector

The Domain Name Service connector can iterate and do lookups in DNS.

Configuration

The Connector needs the following parameters:

Parameter

Description

connectorType com.architech.connector.DNSConnector
dnsURL The url of the Name Server to use.  Note that if you intend to iterate his server must be authoritative for the domain you try to iterate.
dnsListDomain The domain to Iterate on. Only used by Iterator mode.

Note that even for a Lookup Connector, you might want to discover the attributes by interactivly Connecting to the DNS.  In that case, you have to supply a name for this parameter as well.

 Notes

  • When iterating, the list of names is sent from the server in one big chunk. This assumes your Java VM has memory for it
  • When using the Connector in Lookup mode, only the 'equals' operator is supported

The version of the libraries of your Sun Java VM 1.3, might hinder you from running this Connector.  If you get a message about an unavailable com.sun.jndi.dns.DnsContextFactory, please:

  • Download dns-1_2.jar.  This is property of Sun and can of course be downloaded from their site.  Make sure to read the copyright it contains.  You can open the jar-file by using winzip.
  • Put the contained dns.jar and providerutil.jar into the Metamerge jars/ directory
  • Edit miserver.lax and miadmin.lax so lax.class.path contains jars/dns.jar
