LDAPURL(1)

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 ldap-
port] [-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.
