This section briefly describes the ldapentry script tool,
as well as the tools ldapsearch, ldapmodify, and ldapdelete.
ldapsearch, ldapmodify, and ldapdelete are described in detail
in the respective LDAP directory literature.
ldapsearch |
 |
You use the ldapsearch command-line utility to locate and
retrieve LDAP directory entries. This utility opens a connection
to the specified server using the specified distinguished name and
password, and locates entries based on the specified search filter.
Search results are returned in LDIF format. For details, see the
respective literature on LDAP directories.
ldapmodify |
|
You use the ldapmodify command-line utility to add or modify
entries in an existing LDAP directory. ldapmodify opens a connection
to the specified server using the distinguished name and password
you supply, and adds or modifies the entries based on the LDIF update
statements contained in a specified file. Because ldapmodify uses
LDIF update statements, ldapmodify can do everything ldapdelete
can do. For details, see the respective literature on LDAP directories.
ldapdelete |
|
You use the ldapdelete command-line utility to delete entries
from an existing LDAP directory. ldapdelete opens a connection to
the specified server using the distinguished name and password you
provide, and deletes the entry or entries. For details, see the
respective literature on LDAP directories.
