Red Hat Directory Server 8.0 Configuration, Command, and File Reference

Option Description
-D Specifies the distinguished name with which
to authenticate to the server. This option is
optional if anonymous access is supported by
the server. If specified, this value must be a
DN recognized by the Directory Server, and it
must also have the authority to search for the
entries. For example:
-D "uid=bjensen, dc=example,dc=com"
-g
Specifies that the password policy request
control not be sent with the bind request. By
default, the new LDAP password policy
request control is sent with bind requests.
The ldapsearch tool can parse and display
information from the response control if it is
returned by a server; that is, the tool will print
an appropriate error or warning message
when a server sends the password policy
response control with the appropriate value.
The criticality of the request control is set to
false to ensure that all LDAPv3 servers that
do not understand the control can ignore it. To
suppress sending of the request control with
the bind request, include -g on the
command-line.
-h Specifies the hostname or IP address of the
machine on which the Directory Server is
installed. If a host is not specified,
ldapsearch uses the local host. For example:
-h mozilla
-l
Specifies the maximum number of seconds to
wait for a search request to complete. For
example:
-l 300
