Querying an LDAP Server
To query your LDAP or Active Directory server to find out the LDAP attributes of your users, you
can use several different methods. From a machine with LDAPsearch tools (for example a Linux
machine with OpenLDAP installed), run the following command:
ldapsearch -h 10.0.0.5 -x -D
cn=demo,cn=users,dc=netgear,dc=net -w demo123 -b
dc=netgear,dc=net > /tmp/file
where
• 10.0.0.5 is the IP address of the LDAP or Active Directory server
• cn=demo,cn=users,dc=netgear,dc=net is the distinguished name of an LDAP
user
• demo123 is the password for the user demo
• dc=netgear,dc=net is the base domain that you are querying
• > /tmp/file is optional and defines the file where the LDAP query results will be
saved.
