Re: ldapsearch

[Raf Meeusen <meeusen@acunia.com>]

e.g.

ldapsearch -x -W -h localhost:9009 -b "dc=com" "objectclass=*"

-h localhost:9009 is the server you want to connect to.

-x -> for simple authentication.  newbies want to do that normally, 
assuming you don't have SASL built in...

-W for password (this normally is the pw that you've typed in in your 
slapd.conf file behind the rootpassword, the default config setting is 
secret, indeed secret ;-))

-b is yourbase tree.  normally, most of us have a tree like dc=com, 
dc=company, .. and the dc=com is the root of that tree, so you can quary 
that complete tree...

"objectclass=*" (optional) is simply what i want to see returned.  You 
probably don't want it.


Please try this, and if it doens't work as expected, check the debugging 
errors (add debug with option -d):

ldapsearch -x -W -h localhost:9009 -b "dc=com" -d 255

Please retry, and try to read the man-pages/Admin guide...

Good luck,

Raf
