ldapsearch — perform LDAP search operations

Command options:

-a | --dereferencePolicy {dereferencePolicy}

Alias dereference policy ('never', 'always', 'search', or 'find').

Default: never

-A | --typesOnly

Only retrieve attribute names but not their values.

Default: false

--assertionFilter {filter}

Use the LDAP assertion control with the provided filter.

-b | --baseDn {baseDN}

Search base DN.

-c | --continueOnError

Continue processing even if there are errors.

Default: false

-C | --persistentSearch ps[:changetype[:changesonly[:entrychgcontrols]]]

Use the persistent search control.

A persistent search allows the client to continue receiving new results whenever changes are made to data that is in the scope of the search, thus using the search as a form of change notification.

The optional changetype setting defines the kinds of updates that result in notification. If you do not set the changetype, the default behavior is to send notifications for all updates.

add

Send notifications for LDAP add operations.

del, delete

Send notifications for LDAP delete operations.

mod, modify

Send notifications for LDAP modify operations.

moddn, modrdn, modifydn

Send notifications for LDAP modify DN (rename and move) operations.

all, any

Send notifications for all LDAP update operations.

The optional changesonly setting defines whether the server returns existing entries as well as changes.

true

Do not return existing entries, but instead only notifications about changes.

This is the default setting.

false

Also return existing entries.

The optional entrychgcontrols setting defines whether the server returns an Entry Change Notification control with each entry notification. The Entry Change Notification control provides additional information about the change that caused the entry to be returned by the search. In particular, it indicates the change type, the change number if available, and the previous DN if the change type was a modify DN operation.

true

Do request the Entry Change Notification control.

This is the default setting.

false

Do not request the Entry Change Notification control.

--countEntries

Count the number of entries returned by the server.

Default: false
