NOTE: For the commands listed in this and proceeding sections, the following options are
used:
-D specifies the Distinguished Name (DN) that is bound to the LDAP directory.
-x specifies simple authentication.
-W specifies a prompt for the bind password (for simple authentication).
-f specifies read operations from a file.
-b specifies the base DN as the starting point for the search.
-s specifies the scope of the search. The search can be base, one or sub to specify a base object, or
one-level or a subtree search.
For additional information, see the ldap man page.
Searching for an Entry in the Directory
To search for the new entry you added in the previous step, use the ldapsearch command as
follows:
# /opt/symas/bin/ldapsearch -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com" –W \
"cn=tom yan"
