LDAP: Using ldapsearch

Posted on July 27, 2011 by Terry Gardner

ldapsearch is a command-line tool distributed with most directory server software used to search for entries in a directory information tree (DIT) and possibly return specified attributes from the entry. ldapsearch can also return just the distinguished name (DN) of the entry with no attributes, or the names of attributes with no values.
