The LDAP tools referenced in this guide are Mozilla LDAP, installed with Directory Server in the
/usr/lib/mozldap directory on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 i386; directories for other platforms are listed in
Section 2, “LDAP Tool Locations”. However, Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems also include LDAP tools from
OpenLDAP. It is possible to use the OpenLDAP commands as shown in the examples, but you must use the -x
argument to disable SASL and allow simple authentication.
