ldapurl — LDAP URL formatting tool
ldapurl [ −a attrs ] [ −b searchbase ] [ −E [!]ext[=extparam] ] [ −f filter ] [ −H ldapuri ] [ −h ldaphost ] [ −p ldapport ] [ −s base | one | sub | children ] [
−S scheme ]
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.
−a
attrsSet a comma-separated list of attribute selectors.
−b
searchbaseSet the searchbase.
−E[!]ext[=extparam]Set URL extensions; '!' indicates criticality.
−f
filterSet the URL filter. No particular check on conformity with RFC 4515 LDAP filters is performed, but the value is hex-escaped as required.
−H
ldapuriSpecify URI to be exploded.
−h
ldaphostSet the host.
−p
ldapportSet the TCP port.
−S
schemeSet the URL scheme. Defaults for other fields, like
ldapport, may
depend on the value of scheme.
−s
base|one|sub|childrenSpecify 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.
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.
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)
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.
