Re: (ITS#8618) ldapsearch - unexpected behavior with
Andry, I am sorry but I still don't understand...
- You are saying ldapsearch internally converts '-h' and '-p' parameters into a
URI, correct ?
- The '-p' option in ldapsearch is optional, if it's not set it should use the
default LDAP port (TCP/389).
In the example bellow, when I am calling ldapsearch without specifying the port
(1), it does not say anything about the ldap URI being invalid. It simply tries
to connect to '/example.org:389' and fails. (which is expected).
On the other hand the same example with the option '-p 389' added, result in the
query going to localhost (2). I don't understand why.
The default LDAP port is TCP/389, therefore I would expect ldapsearch to behave
in the same way regardless if the '-p 389' argument is provided or not.
