• ldapsearch: This is the command to perform an LDAP search.

• -h ${ldap_host}: Specifies the LDAP server to connect to. The ${ldap_host} is likely a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual LDAP server hostname or IP address.

• -b ${base_ou}: Specifies the base distinguished name (DN) from where the search should start. The ${base_ou} is likely a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual base DN.

• '${memberOf=group1}': Specifies the LDAP filter to apply during the search. In this case, it searches for records where the attribute memberOf has a value of group1.

• displayName: Specifies the attribute to return in the search results. In this case, it requests the displayName attribute to be displayed for each record that matches the search criteria.

Overall, this command is used to search an LDAP directory for objects that are members of "group1" and retrieve their display names.
