ldapsearch

Query an LDAP directory. More information: https://docs.ldap.com/ldap-sdk/docs/tool-usages/ldapsearch.html.

• Query an LDAP server for all items that are a member of the given group and return the object's displayName value:

ldapsearch -D 'admin_DN' -w 'password' -h ldap_host -b base_ou 'memberOf=group1' displayName

• Query an LDAP server with a no-newline password file for all items that are a member of the given group and return the object's displayName value:

ldapsearch -D 'admin_DN' -y 'password_file' -h ldap_host -b base_ou 'memberOf=group1' displayName

• Return 5 items that match the given filter:

ldapsearch -D 'admin_DN' -w 'password' -h ldap_host -b base_ou 'memberOf=group1' -z 5 displayName

• Wait up to 7 seconds for a response:

ldapsearch -D 'admin_DN' -w 'password' -h ldap_host -b base_ou 'memberOf=group1' -l 7 displayName

• Invert the filter:

ldapsearch -D 'admin_DN' -w 'password' -h ldap_host -b base_ou '(!(memberOf=group1))' displayName

• Return all items that are part of multiple groups, returning the display name for each item:

ldapsearch -D 'admin_DN' -w 'password' -h ldap_host '(&(memberOf=group1)(memberOf=group2)(memberOf=group3))' "displayName"

• Return all items that are members of at least 1 of the specified groups:

ldapsearch -D 'admin_DN' -w 'password' -h ldap_host '(|(memberOf=group1)(memberOf=group1)(memberOf=group3))' displayName

• Combine multiple boolean logic filters:

ldapsearch -D 'admin_DN' -w 'password' -h ldap_host '(&(memberOf=group1)(memberOf=group2)(!(memberOf=group3)))' displayName
