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 ldapport] [-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]

Specify general extensions with -e ´!´ indicates criticality.

General extensions:
[!]assert=<filter> (an RFC 4515 Filter)
!authzid=<authzid> ("dn:<dn>" or "u:<user>")
[!]bauthzid (RFC 3829 authzid control)
[!]chaining[=<resolve>[/<cont>]]
[!]manageDSAit
[!]noop
ppolicy
[!]postread[=<attrs>] (a comma-separated attribute list)
[!]preread[=<attrs>] (a comma-separated attribute list)
[!]relax
sessiontracking
abandon,cancel,ignore (SIGINT sends abandon/cancel,
or ignores response; if critical, doesn't wait for SIGINT.
not really controls)

-E [!]ext[=extparam]
Set URL extensions; incompatible with -H.

-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:

ldapurl -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:

ldapurl -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.
