NAME

ldapurl − LDAP URL formatting tool

SYNOPSIS

ldapurl [−a attrs] [−b searchbase] [−e [!]ext[=extparam]] [−E [!]ext[=extparam]] [−f filter] [−H ldapuri] [−h ldaphost] [−p ldapport] [−s {base|one|sub|children}] [−S scheme]

DESCRIPTION

ldapurl is a command that allows to either compose or decompose LDAP URIs.

When invoked with the −H option, ldapurl extracts the components of the ldapuri option argument, unescaping hex-escaped chars as required. It basically acts as a frontend to the ldap_url_parse(3) call. Otherwise, it builds an LDAP URI based on the components passed with the appropriate options, performing the inverse operation. Option −H is incompatible with options −a, −b, −E, −f, −H, −h, −p, −S, and −s.

OPTIONS

−a attrs

Set a comma-separated list of attribute selectors.

−b searchbase

Set the searchbase.

−e [!]ext[=extparam]

−E [!]ext[=extparam]

Specify general extensions with −e and search extensions with −E. ´!´ indicates criticality.

General extensions:

  [!]assert=<filter>   (an RFC 4515 Filter)
  [!]authzid=<authzid> ("dn:<dn>" or "u:<user>")
  [!]manageDSAit
  [!]noop
  ppolicy
  [!]postread[=<attrs>]        (a comma-separated attribute list)
  [!]preread[=<attrs>] (a comma-separated attribute list)
  abandon, cancel (SIGINT sends abandon/cancel; not really controls)

Search extensions:

  [!]domainScope                               (domain scope)
  [!]mv=<filter>                               (matched values filter)
  [!]pr=<size>[/prompt|noprompt]       (paged results/prompt)
  [!]sss=[−]<attr[:OID]>[/[−]<attr[:OID]>...]  (server side sorting)
  [!]subentries[=true|false]           (subentries)
  [!]sync=ro[/<cookie>]                        (LDAP Sync refreshOnly)
          rp[/<cookie>][/<slimit>]     (LDAP Sync refreshAndPersist)

−f filter

Set the URL filter. No particular check on conformity with RFC 4515 LDAP filters is performed, but the value is hex-escaped as required.

−H ldapuri

Specify URI to be exploded.

−h ldaphost

Set the host.

−p ldapport

Set the TCP port.

−S scheme

Set the URL scheme. Defaults for other fields, like ldapport, may depend on the value of scheme.

−s {base|one|sub|children}

Specify the scope of the search to be one of base, one, sub, or children to specify a base object, one-level, subtree, or children search. The default is sub. Note: children scope requires LDAPv3 subordinate feature extension.

OUTPUT FORMAT

If the −H option is used, the ldapuri supplied is exploded in its components, which are printed to standard output in an LDIF-like form.

Otherwise, the URI built using the values passed with the other options is printed to standard output.

EXAMPLE

The following command:

    ldapuri −h ldap.example.com −b dc=example,dc=com −s sub −f "(cn=Some One)"

returns

    ldap://ldap.example.com:389/dc=example,dc=com??sub?(cn=Some%20One)

The command:

    ldapuri −H ldap://ldap.example.com:389/dc=example,dc=com??sub?(cn=Some%20One)

returns

    scheme: ldap
    host: ldap.example.com
    port: 389
    dn: dc=example,dc=com
    scope: sub
    filter: (cn=Some One)

DIAGNOSTICS

Exit status is zero if no errors occur. Errors result in a non-zero exit status and a diagnostic message being written to standard error.
