ldapsearch:tldr:a6b8f
This command is an example of using the ldapsearch tool to search for entries in an LDAP directory. Here is a breakdown of each component:
-
ldapsearch
: This is the command itself, which is used to perform searches in an LDAP directory. -
-D '${admin_DN}'
: This option specifies the distinguished name (DN) of the user who will perform the search.${admin_DN}
is a placeholder that would be replaced with the actual DN of the user. -
-w '${password}'
: This option is used to specify the password of the user specified with the-D
option.${password}
is a placeholder that would be replaced with the actual password. -
-h ${ldap_host}
: This option specifies the hostname or IP address of the LDAP server.${ldap_host}
is a placeholder that would be replaced with the actual LDAP server's address. -
'(|(memberOf=group1)(memberOf=group1)(memberOf=group3))'
: This is the filter expression used to specify the search criteria. In this case, it is searching for entries that either have amemberOf
attribute equals togroup1
orgroup3
. The duplicate(memberOf=group1)
is likely a typo or a duplication. -
displayName
: This is the attribute that is requested to be returned in the search results. It specifies that the search should return thedisplayName
attribute of matching entries.
Overall, this command would search the LDAP directory for entries that belong to either group1
or group3
and return the displayName
attribute of those entries.
