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

Option Description
environment variable setting.
This argument can input the bind DN, base
DN, and the search filter pattern in the
specified characterset.
ldapsearch converts the input from these
arguments before it processes the search
request. For example, -i no indicates that
the bind DN, base DN, and search filter are
provided in Norwegian. This argument only
affects the command-line input; that is, if a file
containing a search filter (with the -f option)
is specified, ldapsearch will not convert the
data in the file.
-J Send an arbitrary control. This option can be
used in the following format to retrieve access
control information on a specific entry:
-J control OID:boolean
criticality:dn:AuthID
• control OID is the OID for the get effective
rights control,
1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.27.9.5.2.
• boolean criticality specifies whether the
search operation should return an error if
the server does not support this control
(true) or if it should be ignored and let the
search return as normal (false).
• AuthId is the DN of the user whose rights to
check.
-k
Bypasses converting the password to UTF8.
-M Manages smart referrals. This causes the
server not to return the smart referral
contained on the entry but, instead, to return
the actual entry containing the referral. Use
this option to search for entries that contain
smart referrals. For more information about
smart referrals, see the "Configuring Directory
